No one says it's the final word. Often the way you pitch yourself will be the way they turn you down. There are always other pivots you can make.

Who knows, you could have also been turned down for something they didn't feel comfortable saying in their response so they gave you feedback but didn't try to see the upside. There may be some elements of your team that accelerators will shy away from. I would spend some time looking inwards if these types of programs are what you want to get in to.

Good luck, and don't give up too soon! Can you share what the app was? My email is in my profile if that helps. I'd love to check it out and give you feedback.



Thx. I did shoot you an email.
