ACCELERATE

Built by a Business Owner, for Business Owners

We're not a tech company that sells to small businesses. We're small business operators who build technology. That changes everything about how we work.

John Connor — Founder of Accelerate

John Connor

Founder

Tech builder. Business owner. Roofer (seriously).

Over a decade building technology platforms. Drove 15x revenue growth to 300K+ monthly active users at Upland. Raised over $1M for Sparkblox through partnerships with Chainlink and Algorand. Built HelpWith to 3,000+ service providers across four markets.

But resumes don't tell you much. Here's what matters: I also run a roofing company in Mississippi. I've sat across the table from a homeowner trying to close a deal. I've missed calls because I was up on a roof. I've wasted money on a website that looked pretty and generated zero calls.

That frustration is why Accelerate exists. I built the tools I wished I had — and they worked. Then contractors I know started asking, “Can you set that up for me too?”

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 AI-powered growth tools that Fortune 500 companies use — without the enterprise budget, the six-month timeline, or the 47-slide strategy deck.

What We Stand For

Ship Fast, Iterate Faster

We ship in weeks, not months. Your business can't wait for a six-month project timeline. We move fast, get you live, and optimize from real data instead of guesswork.

1–2 weeks avg. time to launch

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.
