Series A Ready
in 6 months.
The missing piece after traditional accelerators. 7 embedded operators run alongside your team on the SCALEUP playbook — the 7-pillar framework Luis has been refining for a decade — to take you from €30K MRR through €2M+ ARR. For post-PMF founders who already shipped (with or without us) and now need execution, not more theory.
The biggest gap in startup support.
Most accelerators focus on 0→1 (idea to MVP) — and FIKR has The Start for that. But the hardest part is everything between PMF and Series A. This is where startups die. This is where we focus.
Idea to first 10 customers
Covered by The Start (BUILD methodology · 12 weeks · €3K). And by 500+ other 0→1 accelerators globally.
€30K MRR to €2M+ ARR
The missing year-and-a-half. Almost nothing structured exists for this stage. Founders are abandoned after Demo Day. We embed alongside them on the SCALEUP playbook.
Post-Series A
Once you raise Series A, the market for support kicks in. VCs, growth consultants, executive coaching, board members. You don't need us anymore.
Three things have to change.
Most programs were built for 0→1. They break the moment you need to scale. Here's the flip.
1-hour drop-ins. Generic advice. Disappear after Demo Day.
7 entrepreneurs embedded inside your team for 6 months. They build, sell, and ship with you — not at you.
One city. One investor network. One market perspective.
Operators, investors, and customers across continents. Global from day one — not as a year-3 expansion plan.
90% of accelerators stop at MVP. The hardest part — scale — is where founders die alone.
€30K MRR → €2M+ ARR. The missing year-and-a-half. The stage no one else covers.
Side by side. Pick honestly.
// Traditional accelerators
- PowerPoint mentors who disappear after one hour
- Single city — limited global perspective
- Early-stage focus — abandons you at scale-up
- Generic advice disconnected from your data
- Local investor network only
- Equity for "advisory" — 5–10% gone before you raise
// The Scale Accelerator
- 7 operators embedded in your team — hands-on execution
- Borderless network — true global market access
- Bridge to Series A — built for the post-PMF cliff
- Decisions read from your FIKR Score — not assumptions
- Warm intros to Tier-1 funds across geographies
- Standard SAFE terms. No equity theft.
7 embedded entrepreneurs execute WITH you.
Not mentors. Not coaches. Embedded operators who execute alongside your team for 6 months, using the FIKR tools, deploying their hours where your FIKR Score says you're weakest.
