Accelerator Academy Semester 18

Educating Emerging Entrepreneurs

The Accelerator Academy is a successful and established 12 week high growth training and mentoring programme for ambitious digital entrepreneurs looking to grow their business, through Training, Mentoring and Access to Capital. Focused on start-up and early stage high growth potential Tech, Media, Telecoms (TMT) businesses and ambitious entrepreneurs, applicants are initially assessed for suitability by an online assessment, and around 10-12 successful companies are selected (25 entrepreneurial founders and co-founders) as Accelerator Academy participants to take part in the part time (evenings / weekends) course, with successful exited TMT entrepreneurs mentoring them personally (2-3 businesses per mentor, to ensure sufficient ‘facetime’). Accelerator Academy is part of The Accelerator Network.

We have supported 147 high growth startups at the Accelerator Academy who have gone on to raise on average £350k of equity investment in their first fundraise post programme. Our Alumni have now raised over £45m in equity investment and created shareholder value of more than £450m.
