beware following blindly…
copy what you like is good advice. follow the leader and you can do no wrong.
Ycombinator has inspired copycats around the globe. It is a model that works. But there’s a dark side…
Accelerators are potential breeding grounds for me-too start-ups. Samwer brother clones that replicate hot shot startups and beat them to a local market. What is meant to be an exercise in problem solving and value creation becomes a grab for cash.
Interesting to see how long this play lasts, and if it can be stopped or slowed at all?
