We know how hard it can be, but also the excitement of the dream. Pilot Accel was created to celebrate founder-led brands and help them accelerate from start-up to scale-up.
You’ve done the hardest work of all, you’ve brought your concept to reality and created your product or service, sourced funding, built your starting team, and gained initial traction in your home market. You’ve started to build your brand.
Now comes the tough stuff. To now create a sustainable business you need scale. Scale is what generates the funds to make your business generate the cash it needs to continue to grow and thrive. Without scale, there is no impact. And no long-term business.
Scaling up requires a different skill set to start up. It requires entering new and unfamiliar markets and territories to reach new consumers and grow your brand.
We bring you a commercial SWAT team, all experts in their areas, ready to go and immediately deployable in your new markets. We have scaled up hundreds of businesses, and we know what it takes to get this done.
Sure, you can do it yourself; you’re smart and know your brand and end consumer. However, to enter and grow in a new market takes time and local knowledge, to find the right people (it needs 3 to 6 months to identify seduce and recruit and we all make mistakes as well, we’re only human, after all), to access the right markets, the right channels, and talk to the right people – time you don’t have, because you are in a hurry! And without the familiarity that can quickly and effectively get you to the right contacts and key opinion leaders, it becomes far more difficult to drive success.
By engaging Pilot Accel we will deliver for you, and act as you in the market to give you a fast start and grow your brand to fulfil your ambitions.
At Pilot Accel, we’re here to help you achieve rapid, cost-effective, and impactful growth. Whether you’re looking to create a breakthrough product, expand into untapped markets, streamline your supply chain, or maximise sales, we have the expertise to deliver results.
Ready to scale up and accelerate your business growth? With Pilot Accel, it’s as simple as following our streamlined process designed to deliver impactful results fast.
You know the investment you have available for the market, you just secured new funds on the back of it. You know broadly what you want to achieve in the market, but cannot predict exactly who you need month by month to achieve your outcomes.
We operate on a fixed monthly fee, so you can manage your cash flow, but we do not operate with a fixed team. We bring in more people as required in a particular area depending on the effort that is needed to achieve the outcome, and this differs month by month, season by season.
This is far more effective and efficient than hiring individual specialists or fractional Sales Directors to try to get the job done. We’re price competitive, agile and fluid, able to pivot quickly should market conditions and customer response demand it.
Our sister company, Pilot Lite, has been working with corporations to bring innovation to market for over 15 years, in Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia. During these 15 years, we have built a network of incredible and focused people that we can deploy for you. We have over 500 people in our network and access to many, many more.
