The timing of the deadline strikes me as very odd. Is there a good reason to make it 5-6 weeks before YC's? What if a startup applies to both? Why should you choose Springboard over YC or any other accelerator? With so many mentors, who has what stake in the startup? I don't see any of these questions answered, and they're just what comes to mind immediately. Surely these are very important pieces of information for applicants.
