Acceleratees and experts can launch an online discussion with the experts in the Acceleration Co-op community on any topic relating to your business, or a planned future business. Access an unparalleled breadth of expertise on markets, business and technology, to help resolve the problem of the day.
There are three "depths of engagement" for interacting with our crowd of experts. Premium membership is required for some of these depths of engagement.
Community-wide dialog with experts
Private circle
One-on-one dialogs
Confidentiality, conflict of interest, and "layers of interaction"
1. Community-wide dialog
Often, an effective way to get insight into the latest thorny issue is to engage with our entire Acceleration Co-op community. This gives access to an extremely broad range of experience and expertise in a simple and inexpensive way. Community-wide dialog is available to all acceleratee members with premium interaction privileges, and to all expert members (no premium privilege required).
Community-wide dialog is viewed by our entire community of experts and other acceleratees, but not the public. Please bear this in mind, as you decide what topics to tackle in these discussions.
2. Private circle
If you want to develop a long term dialog with a selected group of experts, or for sensitive topics, we recommend our private circle service.
A private circle is a group of experts, selected from within our Acceleration Co-op community. You can decide what types of experts you want in the group, and you can hand pick them if you wish. Discussions are private within the group and cannot be viewed by experts who are not selected for the private circle. And neither topic nor content can be viewed by other acceleratee members or by non-members.
When it is time to create a Virtual Advisory Board, we recommend using a private circle and recruiting a select, hand picked subgroup of our larger community to participate.
3. One-on-One discussions
You can use our advisor connections feature to engage one-on-one with experts you select.
