After this startup program, I have a lot more clarity in which direction we should take, which tools we can use, and how we can go about it. -- Distributing your value proposition in a way that is economical. That was something new for me. So often, we tend to design solutions that outcompete your competitors in all aspects instead of focusing on the factor that has the most impact.

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.

Who is this Program For?

We are looking for participants with 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.

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.

For Founders

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.
  • Are you bootstrapping and need guidance on how to efficiently use your funds? You’ll get that here.
  • Need help with designing a more effective and concrete business and marketing strategy? You’ll get all the help you need.
  • 1-minute Pitch? We can definitely help with that. 
  • Need more confidence with pitching investors? A large portion of this program is dedicated to exactly that.
  • Are you validating your business idea and need to do more market research? We cover market research in detail.
  • Interested in exploring new markets for your existing business?
  • Is you Business Model refined? We can get you there.
  • Pitch Deck? Yes!

For Managers

For future or current managers in innovation and digital transformation who want to develop solid skills, learn innovative design tools and perhaps are considering launching a spin-off project, our startup accelerator also offers a useful opportunity.

  • Ready to surf companies through a huge way of Digital Transformation? 
  • Looking for entrepreneurial skills that are useful at any managerial level? You will acquire all the skills required in our program.
  • Are you looking for an exciting job at a startup? This is a safe way to enter the startup ecosystem and gain the tools to design innovative solutions.
  • Hoping to become a major contributor to a startup team, learning the ins and outs of what it takes to run one successfully?

  • Want to work your way quickly to higher level managerial and C-suite positions?

  • Need to develop experience for a job in Innovation? Do it all here.

For International Participants

on the 12 weeks program

Last but not least, are you an international participant?

This program is catered for your needs, will help you to extend your network and if you qualify obtain funding even if English is your second language. Learn all of the above and even more with special courses and training to help you get up to speed with the startup economy in the U.S.

  • Do you want to pitch your idea or raise capital in the United States? We’ll show you how.
  • Not feeling confident in your English quite yet? There is a detailed business English program integrated.
  • Do you want to network with other influential startup founders from abroad and in the U.S.?
  • Do you want to prepare yourself for job opportunities at top startups in the United States?
  • Want to get ahead of the competition in your country by attending one of the top startup training programs in the world? Get way ahead here.
  • Are you planning to move here? Join our program, the best way to be introduced in a new community.

Limited to 14-18 Participants Max

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

Our Proven Method – Design Thinking

6 structured sprints

We believe that today’s accelerator programs need to help participants become designers [at large] and think differently.

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.

Learn by Doing

No theories, we create an environment for our participants to do the work.

The program is organized in 6 iterative sprints.

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!

Transforming Your Mindset for Success

Change How You Think for Unprecedented Results

This program is designed to help you discover a new way of thinking to see new useful ideas and opportunities for expansion within your current startup idea.

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!
