Is Founders Live really free?

Yes, and it always will be. Nothing is sold in the hour and no fee is ever requested.

Is everything Accelera does free?

No. Founders Live, the Growth Diagnostic and the Academy Open Curriculum are free. The sprints, membership and Growth Labs are paid — we share pricing directly with applicants once we know which pathway fits. The Season 1 Growth Cohort asks a Founding Cohort contribution of 25,000 FCFA, which covers part of what the pilot costs to run.

Do I have to be in Douala?

No. It runs on Zoom and people join from across Cameroon and the diaspora.

Both. Choose your language when you register.

No, but the people who get the most out of it do.

What if I miss a Monday?

Come the next one. Nothing carries over and there is nothing to catch up.

Is there a recording?

Not of the whole session. The room speaks freely because it is not published.

EVERY MONDAY - 6:00 PM WAT - ON ZOOM - FREE

Bring the challenge. Make the move.

One hour every Monday with African founders and business owners who are building something real. You bring a challenge from your week. You leave with one move to make before the next one.

Zoom asks for your name and email, then sends you your personal join link. One registration covers every Monday of the season.

Free. No pitch. Leave whenever you like.

What happens in sixty minutes

5:45Doors open. Come early, say hello.
6:00The Open. One question to the room.
6:05Founder Signal. What the room actually did last week - real numbers, no theory.
6:15The Main Room. A hot seat, a lab, a demo, or a founder's story.
6:35The Deal Room. Three asks from the room. Who can help?
6:45The Runway Board. Who moved, who is on a streak, what changed.
6:52The Monday Move. Everyone leaves with one.
7:00The Founder Room. Optional. Smaller groups, open conversation.

The main hour ends at 7:00. Stay for the Founder Room or go - both are normal.

Doors open 17:45 WAT. Optional Founder Room 19:00 - 19:30 WAT.

Who shows up

01
You are already selling something, and you want a rhythm around it.
02
You are building and not yet launched, and you want to be around people who ship.
03
You have done this before, and you are here because the room is worth more than the hour.

Founders, SME owners, side-business operators, and people still deciding. Douala, across Cameroon, and anywhere in the diaspora.

What this is not

Not a webinar. You are expected to talk.
Not a pitch. Nothing is sold in the hour.
Not a course. No modules, no certificate.

Season 1 runs 5 October to 7 December

Ten consecutive Mondays, a Showcase, and the Growth Acceleration Summit in Douala from 2 to 5 December. You can join on any Monday - there is no catching up to do.

Register once. Come as often as you like.

This is our list, so we can keep in touch and send a reminder before each Monday. Your join link comes from Zoom, after the Zoom registration step.

Going further - the Season 1 Growth Cohort

Fifty Douala businesses are taking a measured route through Season 1 - a 30-day sales sprint, a Growth Tribe, a Growth Operator, and a written record of what changed, verified against evidence. The Founding Cohort contribution is 25,000 FCFA. It covers part of what the pilot costs to run — it is not the price of the programme, and Season 2 will be priced from what we measure this season. Fifty places, and entry closes on Friday 2 October. If the contribution is the only obstacle, say so: a limited number of sponsored seats are available.
