48 Hour Startup Accelerator
Startups don't fail from a lack of hard work.

As a founder and entrepreneur with decades of experience, I have seen firsthand the grit, the determination and the resilience it takes to bring an idea to life and build a strong revenue driving business.  

There are many founders that start well, build great products, gain their first few customers but then get to the 18 month mark and the business isn't growing as they expected.

This is a pivotal time.  It is when burnout starts, as founding teams start the cycle of experimentation without a real understanding of which part of the startup playbook needs proper attention.

And this why many get stuck.  

If any of this resonates, here’s the good news...👏

BrandHook is running a 48 Hr Startup Accelerator to get you back on track.  A moment to set and review all the key elements of what makes a great business and build a new plan.

 →Friday 28th of February and Saturday 1st of March.  

Two FULL days of practical learning from experts in their field.  

48 hours with a mix of theory and practice so you walk away with new excitement to move your startup forward.
