Why do you need an accelerator right now?
If you reach your goals easily, they are not ambitious enough. An entrepreneur’s task is to grow fast, at the limits of their system’s capabilities and their ambitions.
  • “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” Mike Tyson
    Business operates under extreme uncertainty, so plans become outdated while they are still being developed. Rigidly following a plan while building a business often leads to a crisis.
  • You have ambitious goals for 2026—and have already missed them
    With the right goals and a clear breakdown into milestones, each month’s results should confirm that the annual goal remains achievable. You should therefore already be able to see whether you will meet your goal for ’25.
  • You plan to expand this year and think “it’s simple”
    When your team expands for the first time, there is always considerable uncertainty that startup growth coaching can help address. And yes, founders who say “it’s simple” are our favourite kind :)
  • You do not know how to grow: you have hit a ceiling, progress is slow, the team is ineffective, and so on
    Entrepreneurs build businesses within the limits of what they can imagine and understand. Every model therefore has a ceiling that can only be overcome with outside support.

Startups we have worked with
Why “Red Team”?
The concepts of “red teaming” and “blue teaming” originated in the military and were formulated in the 1960s to train combat units in offensive and defensive operations.
The approach was later adopted by cybersecurity, where it describes a team of “ethical hackers” working with a client’s information security staff. A Red Team identifies vulnerabilities in a company’s IT infrastructure and works with the client’s IT team to develop a defence strategy and a list of actions to address those vulnerabilities.
The concept of red teaming captures our approach to working with startups. When founders build businesses under extreme uncertainty, they are exposed to many cognitive biases. By combining a product approach, startup growth coaching methodologies and a coaching mindset, we identify vulnerabilities in a founder’s vision, business model, product, team and communication with customers and partners. By “hacking” the founder, we reshape the startup into a more resilient and competitive business with ambitious goals and prospects.
