      • THE PROGRAM

        Vitosha ACCELERATE consists of a revolving program with cycles that take place throughout the year. Each cycle is a three-month timeline

        TRACTION Week

        Immersion

        ACCELERATE kicks off with a loaded week of networking, assessing, learning, and setting goals with the entire partner team and a group of 20+ top mentors from the Vitosha ACCELERATE network.

        Metrics Portfolio

        Measurement

        Our partner team will work in-depth with each company to define an individual set of metrics and goals that we can jointly track and grow on a weekly basis, adapting the program to the individual needs.

        Tailored mentoring

        Context

        The most treasured asset of ACCELERATE is our global network of successful entrepreneurs, storied VC investors, and business growth wizards, who will be working with companies at group sessions and individually.
