Inside Elbow Grease, NYC's Hands-On Accelerator | Dan Teran, Gutter Capital
About this episode
Dan Teran discusses the unique approach of Gutter Capital and Elbow Grease in supporting startups.
Dan Teran is the co-founder Gutter Capital, a concentrated seed fund in NYC, and Elbow Grease, the accelerator that puts 15 startups in one building and helps build their teams for them. Gutter just announced a $75M Fund III and opened applications for the second Elbow Grease batch (apply below by July 31st) We get into starting an accelerator when there’s already a hundred of them, why Gutter prefers very concentrated portfolios, what it was actually like selling Managed by Q to WeWork, why raising a fund turned out to be harder than selling a company, why he thinks startups should form a board and use OKR’s from day one, and the time he went big-wave surfing with Adam Neumann and Laird Hamilton.
