What is an Accelerator?
Enterprise Accelerator supports early-stage, growth-driven businesses through education and mentorship.
Get the most out of the programme by attending as many sessions as possible. This will help you connect more meaningfully with your cohort and with concepts and activities on offer.
What will you gain?
How long is the Accelerator?
The Accelerator runs over five days. Sessions, that range from 60 – 90 minutes, are offered in the morning and afternoon.
Is Accelerator free?
Yes, it’s free to attend.
Am I eligible?
Transitioning ADF members, veterans, reservists, and ADF partners of former or current serving members are all eligible to participate.
Founders, owner/operators and small teams working part-time or full-time on their business are welcome to join the programme.
Do I have to attend every session?
Pick and choose which sessions to attend, but we recommend that you join as many as possible.
Participants who attend at least 50% of the sessions and create a short video pitch (max 3 minutes) can enter the Enterprise Accelerate Award to win $2,500 seed funding to grow your business!
Will sessions be recorded?
We record sessions with guest speaker sessions, but do not record activities or small group mentoring.
Does The King's Trust take equity or ownership of my company or ownership of my business IP?
No, you retain full ownership of your company, including any IP.
