We are focused on advancing the state of Startup globally, and our Global Startup Accelerator platform is at the heart of this endeavor. We believe that Startup can be for everyone, and we actively bring an advanced and innovative approach to starting up to a place where both experienced and aspiring entrepreneurs can understand and participate.

Our Global Startup Accelerator is delivered online via a specially crafted platform allowing entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world to participate on their own time. Matched with an experienced mentor throughout, each participant is guided on a journey bringing their Startup from idea to market offer by employing a unique combination of interactive learning, experimentation, mentorship, and tools.

Our methodology is a thoughtful blend of cutting edge thinking and actioning, that together creates what we believe is the fastest, and most risk adverse way to take a project from idea to market. We combine the strengths of Lean methodology, with elements of Prototype and Horizon thinking, to create critical mind shifts and a road map that guides entrepreneurs down a quick and risk adverse path to global Startup success.

 

 

The GSA course changed my working life! It did! Joining the course for just over two months, I found an immense and bright horizon for my business project that was at the time, just an idea lying in deep confusion with me not knowing how and where to start with turning it into a viable business.  – 2018 GSA Participant

As entrepreneurs, we all have great ideas. But this is not enough. The GSA is a critical learning piece that enables you to get a complete picture and a comprehensive view of your project. Thanks to the guidance from experienced mentors in this course, my project has been honed, become viable, and has growth potential.  – 2018 GSA Participant
