The RKease Journey: Peachscore Accelerator

"You have to see failure as the beginning and the middle, but never entertain it as the end." - Jessica Herrin

"Investing in myself in order to grow, feeling the best, you already know. " - RKease Company

Life has been phenomenal lately, and it's interesting how far business can take you when you are trying to put yourself out there through networking, content creation, email marketing, and cold outreach. All of these efforts have been combined to now be able to get into the Peachscore Accelerator program that's in Los Angeles. This program will enable me to grow, expand my overall entrepreneurial knowledge that I have gained through being apart of accelerators in London, such as Leap Junction at Fanshawe College and TechAlliance of Southwestern Ontario. Now let me go a little bit more in depth in terms of what Peachscore is, before I delve into how it's going to accelerate my progress as a founder, entrepreneur, and overall person.

Peachscore

Peachscore is an accelerator program that is designed as a 12-week immersive program to accelerate businesses from start-up to scale up. The program has about 80 different start-ups from all over the world, and as a cumulative total the companies have raised nearly $125 million dollars. The program comes with nearly $2 million dollars in perks, from companies like Carta, Amazon Web Service, Anabasis Academy, Hubspot, Press Ranger, Dealum, etc. and many other companies. All of these brands make the Peachscore experience well worth it and make you understand the importance of strategic partnerships while building a start-up in order to scale.

There are many things that I am excited for in terms of starting this program, such as the education, knowledge, connect with other founders, and as well as being able to learn the investment side of entrepreneurship. We have a network of over 12,000 investors, such as angel and venture capitalists that are willing to invest in the company and help scale it. All of these investors are coming from different areas of the world as well and we have direct access to them through the Peachscore platform.

Startup Toolkit

Throughout the course and curriculum an important lesson that I have learned so far is the importance of having a technological acumen and being able to learn the tools necessary to enhance efficiency and proficiency in your company operations. There are so many software tools that exist today, which can help streamline and build your company and brand to either IPO status or getting a merger and acquisition. I am just being a sponge, soaking up all the information that I possibly can in order to grow myself as a founder and my business overall. The most important sections that I am currently focused on right now are the "Pitch Book, Marketing, and Discover new leads section", simply because that's the stage my business is at right now. These are the most important aspects of developing my business right now because a Pitch Deck will allow me to pitch at Demo Day, the Marketing section will allow me to find more leads to convert into paying customers, so that I can start generating revenue.

Overall, the Peachscore Accelerator has been wonderful and the learning curve is steep, but throughout it all, I will be able to become a greater founder overall and learn how to build a business from the ground up and carry it over to my other ventures and ideas. Thanks for reading and I hope your day is full of rest, kindness, and ease, peace!
