Applied for this accelerator 2x and both times the person talking with me was extremely bigoted They said I wasn t able to join the accelerator because I wasn t part of the Melbourne uni alumni even though it clearly states on their website that it s not needed They said I wasn t eligible because I am not building a social startup they say on their website if you re not a melbourne student alum then u can apply as a social startup which is also a false claim They said that they get so many applicants building platforms for finding new people and therefore I m not eligible because of that My startup is bad because many other startups building new-people finding platforms are bad I felt like the person interviewing me was closedminded i felt like it was just a boring job for them that they just wanted to get through the checkpoints in their list asap they weren t willing to listen or give it a chance The level of closed-mindedness blatant assumptions made about me all through the interview just left me shaking my head trying to understand what was going on All I can do is guess Maybe they have to say they re open to the public even though they re not Maybe they get more funding that way So they have to make up excuses Just horrible people to work with
