The Accelerator Conundrum: Continuity, Not Cohort

Posted on Friday, Jun 27th 2025

Having exposed the limitations of the fixed-term, location-bound accelerator “cohort,” it’s crucial to highlight another defining strength of the 1Mby1M model: its emphasis on a continuity. It fundamentally alters the quality and longevity of the guidance and support you receive.

Traditional accelerators funnel you into a three-month intensive, then effectively graduate you into the wild, often with sporadic post-program engagement. 

The camaraderie you build with your cohort is fleeting, and the mentorship largely ceases.

 In contrast, 1Mby1M offers an ongoing, accessible ecosystem. 

This means continuous learning through regular, live online sessions, where you can bring your real-time challenges and get direct, actionable feedback.

You get a powerful, asynchronous, digital curriculum to learn pedagogy on your own schedule.

You get roundtable mentoring sessions to get 1-on-1 consulting.

You iterate. 

You study.

You make strategic decisions.

I follow your journey for weeks, months, years, and shepherd you along.

THAT is personalized, long term mentoring.

THAT is the 1Mby1M spirit.
