Yes. This is a great point. I've been involved in a startup and advisory capacity with a handful. The good ones are clearly working for their startups. They gain success through their startups. In the bad ones, it feels like the reverse - the startups are working for the accelerator. The difference was clear to me.

A secondary question is whether those interactions bring value. It's okay to be busy with engagements if those engagements are truly helping.
