What the Accelerator Looks Like

  • Every founder’s journey is different — but the challenges are always the same. Most teams lack the structure, expertise, and resources to manage media, communication, growth, and fundraising at the same time.
  • Our Accelerator meets founders exactly where they are.
  • Whether you’re at Pre-Seed or Series A, with or without traction, team, or visibility — this is what a year inside the FoundersToday Media & Growth Accelerator looks like.
  • For 12 months, we work side by side with you to take ownership of the things founders typically can’t do alone: narrative, visibility, positioning, growth systems, and investor readiness.
  • This is not mentorship.
  • This is execution, exposure, and acceleration — built into one program.

1. First Check

  • This is where we fix what most founders get wrong early on.
  • If you’re just starting out, we cut through assumptions, sharpen your story, and define a clear positioning from day one.
  • If you’re already building, we challenge what exists — stress-testing your messaging, positioning, narrative, and focus.
  • We align your vision, clarify what you actually stand for, and build the foundation across story, positioning, and direction — before media exposure, growth, or fundraising begins.
  • Outcome: Clarity before chaos. A foundation strong enough to scale.

2. Let’s Get In Touch

In a brief video call, we align on expectations, share first impressions, and get to know each other in a relaxed setting.

3. We Want More

During this video call we’ll walk you through the role in detail and give you insight into the people and workflows you’d be joining.

4. Culture Check

To give you a deeper insight into our culture, we invite you to a virtual team day where you can meet the people behind FoundersToday and experience how we work.

5. Let’s Talk
“Tacheles”

Together, we review the details of a potential collaboration and make sure it feels right for both of us.
