Why can't we (in theory) merge a VC + DevShop + Accelerator into a single organization and use performance review, drip funding, and real working mentors to align interests?
I've been reading a lot about how inefficient the VC model is for early stage funding, and how the majority of Incubators & Accelerators don't provide help, beneficial mentoring or even sufficient invest.
Some founders have access to capital (friends & family, etc), others don't.
Some founders are great at founding an organization, but most of us aren't great in both of these very important areas. .

If you are an early stage investor or angel why or why not would you prefer to write a check the old way, or invest via an intermediary that holds $$ and releases them over time?
If you are an Entrepreneur, why or why not would you consider joining such a group?
Would you want to join such a group, or do you think it is flawed and why? I appreciate all feedback.
