Accelerator Lab: prepare a credible scale story

Connect expansion, defensibility, governance and your pitch to the evidence behind your venture.

Choose Accelerator Lab when you need a stronger plan for expansion and a clearer explanation of why the venture can sustain it. It brings together the operating plan and the story you present to partners or investors.

Before you start

Sign in to enter the working Lab. Bring customer, product, revenue or delivery evidence appropriate to your venture. A pitch becomes more useful when each important claim points to something you can show or test.

Build the scale plan

  1. Read the Accelerator Lab overview, then open the Lab.
  2. Review how the value proposition changes at scale and which market could come next.
  3. Examine the whole product and the capabilities or relationships that make the venture defensible.
  4. Work through fundraising, governance, team and go-to-market activities.
  5. Develop the pitch and consider the long-term outcomes and risks of expansion.
  6. Complete the required activities and quiz, review the Accelerator Blueprint and use its completion control.

Make claims reviewable

For an important metric, include the period, definition and source. Keep projections separate from actual results. If a claim depends on an assumption, name the assumption and the next test.

The Pitch Deck Generator can help turn your material into editable slides. Review imported content and every slide before exporting or sharing it.

What happens next

Choose the weakest important part of the scale plan and improve its evidence. Keep your blueprint and relevant observations together using venture evidence.
