Yes, you can.

Stefán Þór Helgason tells us the inside story of how Startup Accelerators (like Startup Reykjavik, Startup Energy Reykjavik, TechStars and YCombinator) decide what startups are accepted and what startups are rejected.

Stefán went from a temporary project manager of Snilldarlausnir Marel to a leading project manager for Klak Innovit, leading accelerator projects like Startup Reykjavik, Startup Energy Reykjavik, Gulleggið and many more.

In addition to managing projects for Klak Innovit, Stefán is also a co-founder and the CEO of Entrio. Entrio is a startup that is focused on taking advantages of new and upcoming technologies to disrupt the payment card industry.
