Here are a few nice things folks have said about us over the years. "Accelerace made a huge difference to Trustpilot because they introduced me to people who had the exact experience we needed. Especially in the devising of our business model and the execution of it, it made a crucial difference to us. I'm not sure we would have existed today if it wasn't for that introduction." "We were very happy with the [acceleration] journey back then, and learned a lot about how to essentially get the business off the ground. It was actually quite impactful for us, what we did back then, because a lot of the right things were done." "When the Accelerace people saw the potential, we thought ‘okay, maybe we can do the Accelerace program and maybe get this off the ground’, and that is exactly what happened (..) Being in the program is one of the things that made us successful.” "Accelerace helped us optimize our business model and scale our sales process. We grew from 10 to 25 employees, and we have tripled our revenues. We could never have done this without the help from Accelerace." "In Accelerace, it's allowed to say things out loud, like 'I want to conquer the world, we want to be the best in class'. If you do that, they'll help you." "Thanks for team Accelerace's continued support for founders and startups, you are instrumental in taking start-ups to scale-ups." Latest stories This is what we have been up to recently!
