❗ Calling all B2B founders! GrowthX accelerator deadline is quickly approaching. 🗣 Applications close April 12th! This accelerator is focused exclusively on helping founders get to market, scale revenue and secure investment. Amplify Louisville has had the pleasure of partnering with GrowthX in the past and the Louisville founders who have gone through the program have given it rave reviews. 💡 Roland Achenjang PharmD, MBA founder & CEO of C2 Keep said this about the Growth X accelerator program: "We have doubled our growth by implementing some of the techniques learned in the program such as identifying/defining the customer, targeted messaging, honing in on pain points. Any company can run this playbook and see a lift in traction." We hope that those of you who qualify will have the opportunity to apply and go through this wonderful program and see your startup skyrocket. Learn more information below. https://lnkd.in/ejMWXvs5

The support needed by founders changes as they evolve from startup to scaleup. While one-to-many support can be effective for startup founders navigating initial challenges, this shifts as companies mature. In the startup world many businesses share common hurdles so group workshops, online forums and networking are a brilliant way to resource and address the challenges. The intricacies and complexities of scaling however require a one-to-one approach to help navigate these changes. The challenges require tailored insight and guidance from those who’ve been there and done it before. At VenturePath, we combine the value of a peer network with one-to-one support for scaling founders, helping them to navigate the key milestones to grow, raise and scale faster.

For my Austin founder and startup community - the Founders Academy series is a great crash course on the fundamentals of running a business. Invaluable learnings! #startups #smallbusiness

By focusing on meaningful guidance and ongoing support, we ensure your startups thrive both during and after the accelerator. Want to avoid common pitfalls and maximize success?
