You can see Zach James & Rich Raddon who are standing next to a demo table pitching a small, yet-to-be-funded company called MovieClips – now the powerhouse ZEFR. For accelerators to proliferate you need access to capital to fund them and then you need a huge community of people to fund the graduates.
