Questions from the Houston Chronicle:
*Are there other companies doing similar things for startups?
**Possible Answer:
***To lesser degrees, startups like Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 startups, etc. do take equity. In the case of YC it's only 7% though, so most of the ownership is still left to the founders. There don't seem to be many big accelerators doing similar things but that may also be because the promise of cofounding limits how many startups can go through the program at a time.
*Are there other techniques that could be used to help startups in Houston?
**Possible Answer:
***As stated earlier, more connections to people who have "done it before" could be really beneficial.

*Both of these have founders that inherited companies.
