Customized Online Accelerator Workshops
for Service Providers, Events, Business Competitions and Incubators
Service providers, incubators, business plan competitions and others can customize the Startup Accelerator Workshop to suit your needs. You can select the type of entrepreneurs targeted, brand the workshop, and provide your own experts and mentors to build your reputation and your relationships with entrepreneurs anywhere.
Service Providers
Service providers who wish to customize a workshop in terms of market segment, geographic range, or any other focus are invited to contact Plano & Simple to discuss your needs. If you want to add more value to the sponsorship dollars you have invested in Business Competitions, Incubators and other programs, we can also tailor a workshop for that group (see details below).
Customization provides:
- Your branding on all workshop materials and broadcasts;
- Your experts featured via interviews and Q&A sessions each week;
- Your partners invited to participate as mentors in the online member forum;
- Your firm highlighted in marketing before, during and after the workshop;
- Your firm's branding and welcome page in the optional Virtual Incubator associated with the workshop.
Business Competition, Incubator and Event Managers and Sponsors
The Accelerator Online Workshop can be customized to bring significant added value to your program, your participating entrepreneurs and your sponsors. It brings professional, consistent training and coaching to your participants that can complement or even replace your other mentoring programs. Your participants will advance their business plans and create better pitches. Combined with the optional Virtual Incubator, the profiles of everyone involved will be raised and your marketing efforts enhanced via social media and an engaging web presence.
Customization provides:
- Branding of all workshop materials and broadcasts for the program and your sponsors;
- Experts of your choosing featured in interviews and Q&A sessions each week;
- Mentors of your choosing featured in the online member forum; and
- Your program highlighted in marketing before, during and after the workshop.
For maximum benefit, the Accelerator should be paired with Pitch Coaching to produce polished slides, professional delivery and an engaging script. Many past clients are still using the same slides and graphics that were developed during their pitch coaching even years later. Pitch coaching does not provide the in-depth training of the Online Accelerator Workshop, but can be paired with the Virtual Incubator to raise the profile of the participants, program organizers and sponsors.

Your partners may participate as much - or as little as they like as mentors and experts. And you reduce your risk by accelerating the progress of your clients and training them to work with you (see Client Schools below). Learn more...

Client School Workshops
