As a new bootstrapped business with an experienced team (read, older with families, mortgages and our own money), we are in a weird place when it comes to traditional accelerator programs. We can self-fund, have solid track record and experience and know our target market well. It's always going to be a 7 digit/yr thing. We're not on a track interesting to VC at all. We want to build a good business that grows.

What we lack, though, is the explosive boost in everything related to launching a new business that comes from being an accelerator program. We have thought of simulating it, but it's clear it's not the same.

Is there an open option that provides a similar framework for "the rest of us". If there isn't, why not?
