Frequently asked questions How do we know which services are right for our programme?
It depends on your cohort size, stage, and where you want to strengthen your offering. If you're just starting to add technical content, drop-in masterclasses are the lowest-friction entry point. If you want to build a signature programme experience, custom curriculum or signature events make more sense.
→ Schedule a programme design call Can we start with one or two masterclasses and expand later?
Absolutely. Most accelerators start with 1-2 drop-in masterclasses to test fit with their cohort, then expand to embedded mentorship or custom curriculum once they see the value.
→ Explore masterclasses How much advance notice do you need to deliver a masterclass?
Ideally 3-4 weeks for scheduling and preparation. For urgent requests, we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines depending on faculty availability.
How do we get started if we're planning our next cohort?
Tell us about your cohort—size, sector focus, stage, and what capability gaps you're trying to address. We'll recommend which services would add the most value and provide pricing.
→ Schedule a programme design call Do you work with corporate accelerators and VC portfolio programs, or just traditional accelerators?
All of the above. Our services work for any organization building capability across multiple companies simultaneously whether that's a traditional accelerator, corporate innovation program, or VC firm building portfolio standards.
→ Schedule a programme design call Can you co-brand the content and present it as our programme?
For custom curriculum and some signature events, yes. We can co-brand or deliver white-label depending on your preference.
→ Explore masterclasses What's the difference between your accelerator services and the three bundles?
The five service types (masterclasses, mentorship, sprints, events, curriculum) are individual components you can mix and match.
→ View bundles & packages Do you have case studies or examples of accelerators you've worked with?
Yes. We've delivered masterclasses, custom curriculum, and signature events for accelerators across property tech, fintech, and AI-focused programmes.

Frequently asked questions How do I know if mentoring is right for my business?
If you're facing strategic challenges that need expert perspective on AI strategy, regulatory compliance, digital transformation or growth planning and you don't have that expertise in-house, mentoring gives you access to practitioners who've solved exactly these problems before.
→ Tell us your challenge and we'll recommend the right approach What does a mentoring engagement actually look like?
It's flexible. Some clients engage for a single strategic session on a specific decision. Others work with a mentor monthly for ongoing guidance. Some need hands-on support, like having a mentor join a critical client meeting or review a pitch deck before it goes to investors.Practical tip: Our most successful engagements start with a specific challenge, not a vague "we need help with strategy." The more specific your starting point, the faster we can match you and deliver value.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need help with?
That's completely normal. Many clients come to us with a challenge or a sense that something isn't working, rather than a specific brief.
→ Start with a discovery conversation What industries and sectors do you work with?
While we have deep expertise in PropTech, FinTech, and HealthTech, our mentors work across B2B SaaS, enterprise technology, and regulated industries. Practical tip: Our mentors' enterprise and regulatory experience is often most valuable for startups selling into regulated industries or enterprise buyers who value that credibility.
→ Start with a discovery conversation Do I need to commit to a long-term engagement?
No. Some clients engage for a single session to work through a specific decision. Others work with mentors for months as they navigate growth, fundraising, or transformation.
What if I need training for my entire team, not just 1:1 mentoring?
We offer masterclasses and workshops that can be delivered to your team on topics like AI governance, regulatory compliance, digital transformation, and strategic decision-making.
→ Explore our masterclasses How quickly can I get matched with a mentor?
Usually within a week. We start with a short conversation to understand your challenge, then match you to the most relevant expert in our faculty. First session typically happens within 7-10 days of initial contact.
→ Book an urgent consultation Can I switch mentors as my business evolves?
Yes. As your priorities shift, you can change mentors. You might need digital transformation expertise today, AI governance support in six months, and fundraising guidance after that.
→ Meet our mentors How much does mentoring cost?
All engagements are structured in focused blocks starting with a 10-hour minimum. This ensures we can deliver meaningful progress on your challenge rather than just surface-level advice.
→ Book a consultation Can my mentor join important meetings or negotiations?
Yes. Our mentors don't just advise from a distance. When you're heading into a difficult negotiation, high-stakes client conversation, or pivotal business moment, your mentor can be there with you.
→ Get in touch today What makes Acuity mentors different from other advisors or consultants?
Our mentors are practitioners who've done the work at scale. They've shaped AI policy at national level, led transformation inside FTSE 500 companies, built and scaled technology businesses, and guided founders through the full journey from startup to exit.
→ Meet our mentors Can mentors review materials like pitch decks or proposals?
Yes. One of the most valuable ways mentors support clients is reviewing critical materials before they go to investors, enterprise clients, or strategic partners.
