Brisbane’s startup community comes together to discuss the virtues of accelerators

The biggest misconception about startup accelerators is that they’re all the same, River City Labs entrepreneur-in-residence Aaron Birkby says.

The Brisbane startup hub will be holding an inaugural accelerator educational panel on Thursday and Birkby says it’s all about showing entrepreneurs what’s on offer at the various accelerators.

“Every program is different,” Birkby tells StartupSmart.

Birkby says not all accelerators are equal and each has its own unique networks.
According to Startup Muster, a   quarter of Australian startups use an accelerator and Birkby hopes this number will grow.
