Immersive Experience

What We Do

We accelerate the delivery to market of customer-validated innovations, focused on leveraging new technologies and establishing disruptive business models. Through our guided experiential learning process, your teams work on real current problems and opportunities — not case studies or hypothetical examples — and deliver tangible results in as little as two months. We have helped teams launch new products, services and business models in one third the time at one tenth the cost of traditional methods. Our programs' immersive experience turns your employees into innovators, armed with a repeatable and scalable process they can use again and again.

How We Do It

Based on years of entrepreneurial experience combined with our repeatable, scalable methodologies, Innovation Acceleration Group Instructors guide teams of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs through 7-week to 6-month long evidence-based customer discovery processes. Over the course of our programs, teams get one-on-one coaching, participate in group collaboration, and receive feedback from their peers and mentors. At the end, each team will have a validated go/no-go decision and lean go-to-market plan, saving months (if not years) of time and financial investment.

Why Us?

We possess unmatched expertise and results, having taken hundreds of startups and innovation teams through accelerators that have more than tripled technology and service funding rates over traditional programs. Additionally, IAG has helped launch new product, technology, service and e-commerce portfolios for large companies. Our methods have been used by the US National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Energy. We also have experience working in a multitude of industries, including CPG, health-care, biotech, pharma, hardware, software and social ventures.

"The Berkeley program was the best thing that happened in my life - no kidding. I remember each and every session, each and every feedback that Mark and Andre gave to us and others. The feedback helped me in making changes to my point of view about various business-related things and made me determined to overcome challenges. The anecdotes, stories and real life experiences they shared helped me to create a strong roadmap for my product. I am happy to share that my company is going steady and well." -Innovate for Digital India Participant, CEO

“After 80 people shared their thoughts and confusion about our project, we learned that we had to pivot several times. With that, we found new ways to do things that are exponential in business, life and beyond.” - UACH Participant, Engineer

"The IAG instructor team is amazing because they understand the learning process. They won't tell you the answers, but they will make sure you know the how to think critically to create a successful startup." -Mentor, CFO
