I'd love to hear from anyone with direct experience.

TechStars run a NYC batch. Probably the best accelerator you will find in NYC.

In what sense is it a YC clone, other than being an accelerator?

A small amount of money for a few months, followed by a demo day in the end, etc.

It's not as established, though, and I haven't read or heard much about the startups which come out of it, though, which I why I posted the question.

I know some people who did it. If you want, I can connect you.
