John Connor
Founder of Accelerate and SuperDebate. He builds systems that help people think, collaborate, and grow.
Connect on LinkedInJohn is the founder of SuperDebate, rebuilding competitive debate for adults through local clubs, a technology platform, and championship tournaments, and the founder of Accelerate, where he helps small businesses figure out where AI fits, then builds and manages the systems that make it happen.
His track record includes CEO of Sparkblox, a no-code NFT platform that secured over $1M in funding, and product and live operations at Uplandme, where monthly revenue grew more than 15x and daily active users passed 100,000. He advises WORK+SHELTER on web strategy and partnerships, consulted on ecosystem growth at Thrive Protocol, and started out instructing competitive policy debate to high school students.
He takes on a limited number of clients so the team can operate alongside each one. He advises and he delivers, and he stays on the hook after launch.
