“The structure of the programme facilitated a strong level of preparedness and teaches you very clear mechanics of raising finance.  Having the right business plan prepared in advance enable dus to answer questions much faster.  Doing due diligence prep in advance enabled us to get the deal relatively smoothly. One big advantage is Accelerator Academy’s ability to match you to investors who are active, and pair you with a mentor who has made an investment in the last year. It’s hard to build relationships when an investor event is at the end, whereas weekly mentor sessions over the 3 months allows us to build a proper relationship.”
