Accepted to an accelerator before launching?

This is normal. Accelerators are supposed to bootstrap the business from concept to product and then end with a demo day to VCs for the next round of growth

like

Research the other accelerator programs out there, eg YCombinator, TechStars, for context of what’s typically provided by the program, hone in on what you want, consider if the financing offered to you is fair given what help you need. At worst, you gain a strong network of entrepreneurs and those supporting the innovation industry locally to your program

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?
