Momentum or traction is one of the most valuable assets that a startup can have. By creating business traction, new companies can attract potential investors and gain a competitive edge in their industry. We want to help you to come out of our 12-week Acceleration Program with the traction that you need to grow your business.

In Order to get accepted to the VIISA Accelerator Program, you need to have a fully-working product, or at least a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). If you invested time and money into creating a great product, you can right away set off to the evolution of your product in the Acceleration phase, thus having a firm ground to start from is important.  

Expect to put in more hours into pushing your business. At first, even if you have a great product it will not sell itself fast. In the program, you need to focus on giving it a push, talking to customers, developing new funnels, cold emails, all of that.
