GRO8 Accelerator Program

The program is built around a gap we consistently observed while investing: early-stage founders need execution-focused support once they move beyond ideation. 12 startups. Hands-on mentoring. Real operator knowledge. Plus potential investment of $ 50K–$100 K for standouts. We're talking GTM strategy, investor readiness, AI automation, pitch reviews, etc.
