Plus Eight Accelerator is a top-tier program for leading startups and business owners who are looking to scale their business alongside like-minded individuals. Through structured learning, including masterclasses and practical assessments, a community of founders and alumni, and access to industry experts and mentors, the program is designed to take businesses to the next level.
With a competitive entry process, and an increasing number of high-quality applicants each year, the program is broken down into two phases. If you’re selected following the Pitching Bootcamp, you make it through to Phase One. In this phase, up to 14 of the 18 businesses will be chosen to move forward into a ten week sprint, where they will pitch, pivot and hustle their way towards Phase Two.
Once in Phase Two, only 6 to 8 teams will be selected and have access to seed funding, international (COVID-19 pending!) trips, and additional masterclasses to get their businesses ready to scale, globally.
So, let’s find out who made it to Phase One!
