about accelerate
Built by a business owner, for business owners.
We're not a software company that sells to small businesses. We're operators who build and run custom AI systems, the same way we'd run them inside our own business. That changes how we work.

the origin story
the resume
Over a decade building and scaling technology platforms. I've grown products to hundreds of thousands of users, raised venture funding, and built marketplaces used by thousands of businesses.
the real story
But resumes don't tell you much. What matters is why Accelerate exists. I have seen up close how much revenue small businesses lose to slow follow-up, missed inquiries, and websites that look fine but bring in nothing. It is not a theoretical problem to me.
So I built the systems those businesses actually needed, and they worked. Then other owners started asking, “Can you set that up for me too?”
the approach
We're not trying to be the biggest agency. We take on a limited number of clients so we can actually operate alongside each one. When your AI agent gives a wrong answer at 11 PM, we fix it by morning. When your pipeline dips, we dig into the data before you even notice.
This isn't a set-it-and-forget-it shop. We're in the business of your results.
our mission
Give small businesses the same caliber of AI-driven growth that Fortune 500 companies buy, without the enterprise budget, the drawn-out rollout, or the 47-slide strategy deck.
what we stand for
Three principles, every project.
Ship fast, iterate faster
We move fast. Your business can't wait on a drawn-out rollout. We get you live and optimize from real data instead of guesswork.
Measure everything that matters
We measure success by your growth, not our hours. Every project has clear metrics from day one, and we track them obsessively so you always know what's working.
Earn it every month
No vanity metrics. No overblown promises. We earn your business every single month by delivering results you can see in your bank account.
