This program is organized in 2 phases:
4-week Business Innovation
Develop clarity about your Concept.
8-week Startup Program
Design and Develop your Startup Business.
12 weeks (3 months) 3-4 weekly training sessions is the ideal amount of time to gain the key skills you need to take your startup to the next level.
Whether you are planning a big upcoming pitch to investors to secure your next stage of funding or are bootstrapping and want strategic advice on how to grow as quickly as possible, this accelerator will facilitate your progress unlike anything else.
We customize this program for your goals while you simultaneously participate in a proven comprehensive pre-set curriculum that we have developed from over a decade of founder training experience
Throughout these weeks, you will gain incredible, transformative experiences, skills and knowledge that will prepare you to present your startup to investors for a successful pitch (if that is your goal), enhance, revitalize, improve and refine your business idea for practical growth.
You will learn how to effectively communicate your vision to potential partners and investors who can also help your idea move forward. The program is filled with hands-on workshops throughout each weekly ‘sprint’, covering a variety of topics ranging from business communication, to investor pitching, leadership mindsets and more.
It’s perfect for who are looking for an expert-guided transition into the business world. It’s also perfect for experienced startup founders who have been in the game for a while and need an extra bit of inspiration, coaching and mentorship to achieve their top goals.
What sets our programs apart is a thriving, structured environment that guarantees learning and personal development.

This program has a limited number of spots and will include both local participants from the United States as well as abroad. This accelerator takes place in the heart of downtown LA, a rapidly growing startup community -- the third largest and fastest growing tech ecosystem in the country.
You’ll be surrounded by constant business and networking opportunities, events, and other startups – the perfect environment to expand your contacts while your startup moves forward!

You’ll discover that Los Angeles is second to none in terms of networking; you’ll meet people from everywhere in the world. For many of our past participants these contacts were extremely valuable for their professional opportunities and at various stages in the future as their business grew.
We have put together a group of proven, highly sought-after coaches, consultants and startup growth hacking experts who you will have direct access to throughout the program.
In this way, we guarantee that this startup accelerator will be innovative and insightful and teach you the valuable leadership, startup management and communication skills you need for rapid growth.

PROVEN METHODS
M-ACCELERATOR has helped many of our participants achieve incredible results with their startups.
STARTUP COMMUNITY
With a premier location in downtown LA, there are other startups and networking opportunities everywhere.
We are looking for participants with or without a viable business idea, in any stage, who need further validation and refinement of that idea, or coaching on practical and proven ways to validate their business concept.
If you’re looking for a simple certificate this is not the program for you.
It is for founders or managers who are looking to make an impact with a startup and become leaders in innovation.
We do not accept every applicant and are looking for participants who are highly motivated and who have truly unique ideas and passion, and are ready to do the required work.
We accept applications from startup founders, business managers, and international founders/managers.
Below are some of the key problems this program can assist with depending on your role.
Whether you have zero business experience or are planning the next steps of your startup’s growth or funding, our 4 and 12-week startup program will help you with multiple goals:
- What is you Value Proposition? Can you answer with a strong, compelling, and very interesting sentence? We can help with that.

The program admits a limited cohort of 10 to 18 participants coming from different backgrounds and fields. It will feature parallel tracks that are customized to each participant’s project and goals – all culminating in a public pitch day event in front of our mentors and other startup experts.
We can help if you’re trying to make solid steps forward with your project, for example in order to be accepted by an incubator or getting ready for investors. We can assist with helping you obtain access to funds through our Venture Fund, our network and also other accelerator programs.
For international participants, our program will also help you increase your authority/expertise in your own country and provide more validation points to your investors back home. We can help with that.
If you’re only looking for investors or VC relationships, this program is probably not for you. We bring much more value to founders including improving their business idea or uncovering new strategies and ideas that will be discovered during the program. We value our relationships by working with you for the entire cohort and are not interested in quick deals.
If you are at a more advanced stage these programs may be for you: growth-stage startup program or Virtual Accelerator Program.

In our view, a key element of becoming a designer is a practical capability to design solutions and systems for humans. With this in mind, our “Design Thinking” approach is key and a consistent theme throughout this program.
We use hands-on practices to delve into real-world challenges teaching you a systematic approach to problem-solving. Participants have the ability to experiment with their creativity in a safe, supportive yet challenging environment which encourages innovative “design- thinking” solutions.
The program is organized in workshops, coaching sessions, meeting one-to-one with mentors in our space and outside, visits, and a space for you to work at your project and become inspired with new “design-thinking” approaches to it. Many of our participants uncover totally new business opportunities with their startup through our approach and exciting new directions to pursue.
MEDIARS’ experience in multi-disciplinary projects has resulted in this unique multi-modal “design-thinking” approach to our training. This has enabled us to create a hands-on training model and a learning-by-doing curriculum that inspires true innovation and allows young founders to overcome many of the hurdles they face when entering the world of business.
We don’t have exams, but multiple presentations along the way facilitate this process along with the final pitch day. Participants present projects or startup pitches publicly to our community. All of our programs since 2006 have had a final public event with presentations.
The pitch day has several goals, the first one is to get feedback and loop it back into the growing process.
Secondly, understandably, some of the participants are interested in creating relationships with investors, partners, or other accelerators, incubators or VCs. We also assist with this but do not make it the sole focus of the pitch day event. In general, when there is value in these relationships, they will mostly be developed during the program, not at the end.
Each week we assign one or more tasks that help participants build their project, one element at a time. It isn’t a contest among participants; if you need to spend more time on a task, we will accommodate you as needed.
We want to take the pressure off and help you experiment with the tools we’re providing and embrace failure as a component of our stimulating growing process.
You don’t have to be concerned if it turns out that your idea needs a shift to be more viable or if you have a change of heart.
We’ve had many participants change their direction or project during the program because of better solutions to the problem they are solving, and that’s one of the main benefits of our “design thinking” approach!
One of our most successful alumni pivoted half way through the program!
With our model, we stimulate participant thinking through the analysis of problems from the customer’s perspective, teaching you a systematic approach to problem-solving that will serve you well throughout each stage of your startup.
Launching a new startup project is exciting but also a lot riskier then working for a company. If you’re inspired and want to build your project, our approach will give you the tools to get comfortable in this uncertain environment.
During the program there will be a lot of ups and downs, like in real life. If you really commit to it, the program will push your boundaries and put you out of your comfort zone for an incredible personal transformation.
This is one of the only ways that real growth happens and that’s something to get excited about!

Los Angeles is home to more than 2300 startups.
Thanks to the technology convergence created in the entertainment industry, Los Angeles is the most creative city of the United States.
These are the key benefits Los Angeles offers:
- LA Managers with extensive experience in entertainment, especially in the audiovisual field.
- Engineers and scientists who are highly-qualified graduates of local universities, which are always at the top of world rankings.
- The cost of living is lower compared to that in the Bay Area and The Silicon Valley.
- A growing ecosystem of accelerators, incubators, and angel investors defines the LA business landscape.
All these elements make Los Angeles the most interesting environment for innovative startups.
Our course aims to leverage these favorable conditions by offering revolutionary business training to young creatives internationally. Many of our participants select LA as their no.1 choice to embark on an accelerator program due to the incredible opportunities for growth.
There are plenty of good ideas out there, but ideas alone don’t create successful businesses. Only experienced entrepreneurs have the knowledge or the expertise to turn an idea into a business. When you make the decision to become an entrepreneur, first you need to ask yourself if your idea is competitive, if consumers can actually appreciate it, and how you can make it happen. Our program will teach you how to strategize and execute without losing touch with your key entrepreneur motivations, or lifestyle goals. We do this by helping you ascertain that your product or service, whatever it is—can satisfy consumer needs and the objectives of the business itself.
Our testimonials include those from tutors, who on a daily basis work with startups and investments, and know how to help you progress effectively in the midst of a fast-moving, chaotic system.
This is part of the Ideation Track in the Entrepreneurship Program.
Some participants in our program don’t need to have a business idea prior to arriving in LA. As long as you’re willing to work hard and develop an idea throughout the course or join other teams. Especially the ones that are taking our program with no entrepreneurial experiences should create a team. If this is your case we'll work with you before the program and will find the best match to assemble a team to complete the program successfully.
Submit your application, demonstrate your motivation, you could be eligible for M Accelerator.
There are several outcomes:
- A structured business plan starting with an idea

We offer a standard curriculum but also customize the experience for your particular needs. Are you just interested in becoming a startup founder but don’t have any experience at all? Apply to the program, if you show motivation to grow, we will set you on the right path with the absolute best mentorship you can find if you are accepted.
