While we’re not against lone rangers, we prefer teams – they have more potential to be accelerated and do all the elements of running a business.

We like our startups to have a technology, software or hardware component to what they’re doing, so that we can help you scale.

What startups founders say about our program

“What might’ve taken 3 months to do, might be possible in 2-3 days. Remarkable has made us go a lot faster.”

– Max Burt, WheelEasy, Cohort #2

“The Remarkable Accelerator has had a massive impact on us. We went in as a few people with a semi-good idea, and came out a lean, focused and investment ready social enterprise with a killer pitch.

Highly recommended if you’re serious about taking your social enterprise to the next level!”

– Mel Fuller & Johan du Plessis, AbilityMade, Cohort #1
