Early-stage founders need mentorship and support to build a successful startup, and conventional wisdom says, “Get thee to an incubator or an accelerator!” However, the two programs are not interchangeable — they serve very different purposes. 

At TechCrunch Early Stage, we ask the questions that matter most to the early-stage founder when exploring which program you need.

We’re thrilled to tell you that Matt Segneri, the executive director of the Harvard Innovation Labs, will tackle these and other related questions at Early Stage on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Prospective and early-stage founders, take advantage of early-bird pricing while you can — prices go up on April 1. Save $200 with an early-bird founder ticket* — college students pay just $99!
