Acceleration Co-op

How it works

When you purchase this service you will have the opportunity to present your business concept to the members of our Acceleration Co-op expert community. This is a way for early stage ventures to get an expert review and critique of their basic business concept and approach. The way it works is as follows.
 
Expert Crowd review of your business concept or business plan:

1. Company gives a web-based presentation of its business concept, and completes our business concept template. The presentation, and what you write in the business concept template, can be as detailed or as simple as you like. But the presentation needs to fit into a 15 minute time slot, and will be cut off at 15 minutes.
2. This webinar will be available to all Acceleration Coop members and may be recorded too if you wish. So members can view it later at their leisure.
3. There will be a 5 minute Q&A at the live webinar, and there will be a subsequent online discussion on the website in which experts can ask questions.
4. The experts provide online feedback about the pluses and minuses of the concept as outlined. And suggestions for things that need to be fixed or resolved and questions that you need to get answers to before the concept can realistically be evaluated. All experts can participate in the discussion and critique each others comments, so you get the "crowd" contribution in addition to the opinions of individuals.
5. Experts are not obligated to contribute. It is up to you to get them interested enough to want to provide feedback. This in itself will be a good test of whether you are telling your story well enough to attract people's attention.

We guarantee that our experts will all know about the webinar and your business. We cannot guarantee how many will give feedback and it will really depend on whether you capture their interest. However we do guarantee that any moderately well thought out business concept will get detailed comments and feedback that will be very helpful for refining the business concept and plan. And that you will find out how close you are to being able to engage the attention of a group of experienced individuals like this.
 
Also, in the process you may meet some useful experts that you can get help from in the future. And you will be able to get an impression from their comments and insights whether or not they are likely to be helpful.
