Operating on a rolling admission basis, the program begins immediately upon acceptance and delivers a highly personalized, execution-driven experience tailored to each founder's growth objectives.
"AI founders aren't struggling to build-they're struggling to sell," said a 1752vc spokesperson. "The biggest gap right now is go-to-market execution, and that's exactly where we're focused."
The program places a strong emphasis on AI-native go-to-market and revenue execution, working hands-on with founders to define ICPs, refine positioning, validate pricing, and build repeatable sales engines. From founder-led sales to enterprise AI deployment cycles, Accelerate embeds execution into weekly workflows-ensuring companies leave with real traction, not just strategy.

Accelerate's results reflect its execution-first model. Portfolio companies have achieved up to 5x valuation growth, driven significant increases in revenue, and collectively raised tens of millions in follow-on funding.
The 12-week program covers critical areas including AI product positioning, go-to-market strategy, CAC/LTV optimization, pricing, financial modeling, fundraising, and Series A preparation. While industry-agnostic, the current expansion places a strong priority on startups building in AI, machine learning, and data infrastructure.
With a 0.76% acceptance rate, Accelerate remains highly selective, admitting only a small number of companies each year that demonstrate traction and readiness to scale.
