Accelerate ME

4 weeks in. Already building.

From shaping ideas into actual plans → testing them with real people → refining what works (and what doesn’t) → and now learning how to actually tell the story.

This is what Cohort 12 has looked like so far.

No fluff. Just founders figuring it out in real time.

Now heading into week 5.

Cohort 12 starts here.

Week 0 marks the beginning of 12 weeks of creativity, momentum and growth. From first ideas to real progress, this cohort is just getting started.

We’re so excited to welcome our founders and see where this journey takes them!
