Why Startup Accelerators Suck and Why I'm Building an Alternative

Hey everyone, I'm Javier, a digital marketer turned website developer. I've been building Creatives Takeover for the last couple of months.

Here's what got me started. I went through an accelerator myself, and beyond the fundraising connections, I walked away wondering what I'd actually gained. A cohort, a demo day, advice that sounded great in a room and fell apart back at my laptop. Nobody handed me a roadmap and even less the full journey.
