From founder‑trapped to exit‑ready.
We don't hand you a plan. We help you build.
Acceler8 works inside businesses for 12 to 18 months to install systems, build leadership teams, and create enterprise value. Most engagements start with a 30-day AI and Operations Audit. We stay until the company runs without the owner.
Four steps to transformation
A proven methodology that creates real, lasting change.
The AI & Operations Audit
Before we commit to working together, we run a 30-day audit. We get inside your systems, your financials, and your operations. You get a detailed roadmap and an honest assessment of whether we can help. This is where most engagements start.
Learn more about the AI AuditDiagnose
Structural assessment of operations, financials, governance, and risk architecture. We dig into what's actually happening, not just what's visible on the surface.
Plan
Transformation roadmap with clear dependencies, timelines, and success metrics. No hundred-page decks. Just clarity about what needs to change and in what order.
Execute
Hands-on implementation inside the business. We roll up our sleeves and do the work alongside your team, solving problems as they come up.
Scale
Systems, team, and processes that create operational independence. The business runs predictably without depending on you.
What this looks like
Real work that creates real change inside your business.
Financial Visibility
Installing financial systems that give you real visibility into what's working and what's not.
Management Layer
Building the management layer so you're not the bottleneck for every decision.
Operational Playbooks
Creating operational playbooks that scale as the business grows.
Capital Readiness
Preparing the business for capital events or transition when you're ready.
We modernize how your business runs
Outdated systems slow everything down. We fix that.
AI That Actually Works
Not buzzwords. Practical AI tools that automate repetitive tasks, speed up decision-making, and free your team to focus on work that matters.
Platform Architecture
Building the technical foundation that lets your business scale. Systems that talk to each other. Data that flows where it needs to go.
System Integration
Connecting your tools so information moves automatically. No more copying data between spreadsheets or chasing down updates.
Technical Due Diligence
Before you buy a company or bring in investors, we assess what's under the hood. Technical debt, security gaps, scalability issues. No surprises after the deal closes.
The difference: We don't just recommend technology. We build it, implement it, and make sure it works inside your business. Our CTO has led technical strategy for companies from early-stage through $100M+ acquisitions.
How we structure partnerships
Our economics are designed for alignment. Every engagement includes a monthly retainer to fund the work and performance fees tied to measurable improvement. For longer-term partnerships, we often align further through an equity stake, because we only succeed when the business succeeds. The structure depends on your situation. We don't take fees for advice and walk away. We stay in the business until it works.

How long does a typical engagement take?
Most engagements run 12 to 18 months from the initial AI Audit through full operational transformation. The first 90 days focus on diagnosis, quick wins, and establishing management systems. Months 4 through 18 focus on building the team, scaling systems, and creating enterprise value.
What does a typical engagement cost?
Every engagement includes a monthly retainer to fund the work and performance fees tied to measurable improvement. For longer-term partnerships, the structure can include equity alignment. The AI and Operations Audit, which is the typical starting point, ranges from $7,500 to $15,000. Full engagement economics are tailored to your situation and discussed after the audit.
What is the difference between Acceler8 and a management consultant?
Consultants write reports and leave. Acceler8 works inside the business alongside the team for 12 to 18 months. In deeper partnerships, we align through equity, so we succeed only when the business succeeds. We install systems, hire and train team members, and stay until the business runs without the owner.
What happens during the first 90 days?
Days 1 to 30 are diagnosis: deep operational assessment, process mapping, and identification of the 3 to 5 highest-impact problems. Days 31 to 60 focus on quick wins: fixing the most painful bottleneck, installing scorecards, and establishing a weekly leadership meeting. Days 61 to 90 build momentum: rolling out management cadences, building role clarity, and assessing management team gaps.
This is what actually makes companies better. Structure. Systems. Execution.
Not theory.
