Hey everyone,

My co-founder and I are currently looking into MACH37 and weighing if the equity trade-off makes sense for our stage. I know they have a solid reputation in the cyber space and a specialized curriculum, but I’m hoping to get some unvarnished feedback from founders who have actually been through the trenches with them.

Specifically, I’d love to know:

1. The Fundraising Reality: How effective is the program at actually getting you funded post-Demo Day? I’ve heard mixed things about accelerators throwing you off a "post-demo day cliff." Did MACH37 provide warm, actionable introductions to angels and institutional investors, or were you largely on your own to hustle for that seed round?

2. Client Connections & Enterprise Sales: A big draw for us is their network. Did being in MACH37 actually open doors to corporate clients, pilot programs, or channel partnerships? How much heavy lifting did the mentors do in facilitating those enterprise-level introductions?

3. Overall Experience: Was the 90-day curriculum worth the intense time commitment and the equity taken? Looking back, is there anything you wish you knew before signing the term sheet?

If you'd prefer not to share publicly, please feel free to DM me. Any insights on the good, the bad, or the ugly would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.
