The Accelerator

Build something that deserves to exist.

The Accelerator exists to make founders more capable and their companies more real. It is not a demo-day machine. It is a structured programme that takes a company from an unproven idea to an operating business, and takes the founder along the same distance.

§ IThe programme

Ten phases

  1. 01Application

    A written application, read in full. We are reading for judgement, evidence of work, and seriousness of intent.

  2. 02Evaluation

    Assessment of the founder, the problem, the market, and what has actually been built.

  3. 03Admission

    A written decision. Admitted founders receive terms of participation before anything begins.

  4. 04Foundation

    Company structure, operating discipline, financial architecture, and the capability gaps the founder must close.

  5. 05Validation

    The problem, the customer and the willingness to pay are tested against reality rather than argument.

  6. 06Build

    Product and technology are built to a standard that can be maintained, not demonstrated once.

  7. 07Commercialization

    Pricing, positioning, distribution and the first repeatable path to revenue.

  8. 08Launch

    Public entry into the market, with the operating systems required to survive it.

  9. 09Capital Preparation

    Financial models, materials, diligence readiness and the discipline to answer hard questions. Anabasis does not promise funding.

  10. 10Continued Development

    Companies remain within the ecosystem after the programme, with continued access to counsel and to the Academy.

§ IIStated plainly

What we do not promise

  • Anabasis does not promise funding, and participation in the Accelerator does not guarantee investment.
  • Selected companies may separately be considered for proprietary investment from Anabasis's own corporate capital. That is a distinct decision, made on its own terms.
  • Anabasis does not manage outside investor capital and is not an investment adviser, broker, or public venture fund.
  • Admission is not for sale. Where tuition or a deposit applies, it is stated in writing before anything is signed.
Admission

The application is the first piece of work.
