MAXIMIZE Founder Cohort 0 — Industry Builders

Build the Operating System Behind an Industry.

MAXIMIZE Founder Cohort 01 is an enterprise accelerator for founders building scalable companies from deep industry knowledge, lived experience, and real-world operational problems. The program helps founders move beyond a traditional small-business model by identifying the systems, software, AI, data, marketplaces, and infrastructure that can transform their expertise into a technology-enabled company capable of serving an entire industry.

Founders work through business-model design, customer validation, product architecture, AI strategy, market sizing, go-to-market, financial modeling, pitch development, and fundraising readiness. The goal is not simply to launch another product—it is to help founders build the platform, operating system, or infrastructure layer behind their industry.

Startups should apply if they have strong founder-market insight, understand a meaningful industry problem, and are prepared to test, rebuild, and scale their business around a larger opportunity. MAXIMIZE is designed for founders ready to turn what they know into an investable, enterprise-ready company.
