Pilot Accel at its core, was created to celebrate founder-led brands and help them transition from start-up to scale-up.
Pilot Accel was founded to empower visionary, founder-led brands to transition seamlessly from start-up to scale-up. Specialising in fast, cost-effective, and impactful growth, we partner with SMEs with Series A or B funding to deliver customised outcomes that accelerate expansion into new markets, boost in-market sales, and unlock new opportunities. With a unique outcome-based approach, we assign every client a dedicated Commercial Concierge who strategises, advises, and manages their journey to success.
