The first ever cohort of Tacklebox was way back in 2015. At the time, there were only a handful of accelerator programs for right-to-date folks and they all required you to have already quit your job. Not everyone can just up and quit their jobs and spend six months full time on an idea. A good friend who'd built a business told me something I will never forget: Your default state is to not start a business. To start a business, you need to fundamentally change how you spend your time.
