In this video, Caya shares a personal and candid journey through multiple startup accelerators, including DreamIt Ventures, 500 Startups, and Startup Chile, revealing the challenges and benefits of these programs. He recounts living in the office during DreamIt, discusses why they chose to go through so many accelerators, and offers advice on navigating the process without diluting equity unnecessarily.
