24-Week Acceleration Coaching Programme

What You’ll Gain

  • Strategic clarity: Each participant develops a bespoke roadmap targeting scalable growth, product-market fit, and team resilience.

  • Investor and partner readiness: Robust business models, investment collateral, and connections to leading VCs and sector mentors.

  • Leadership development: Strengthen decision-making, team culture, and authentic communication under expert guidance.

Bespoke, Adaptive for Every Founder and Team

This programme starts with a rigorous four-week Discovery and Diagnostic phase, where founders and leadership teams work together with Graham for 90 minutes each week to clarify purpose and ambitions, identify strengths and obstacles, and define practical objectives. From this foundation, the remaining weeks are custom-built around each client’s unique goals, stage, and context—targetting high-impact growth for EdTech and AI ventures.

  • No cookie-cutter tracks: Every engagement is tailored. Weekly coaching sessions adapt to evolving priorities, whether building go-to-market strategies, refining product vision, scaling operations, securing investment, or developing leadership capabilities.

  • Dynamic modules and milestone planning: Rather than a fixed curriculum, the journey is modular and client-centric—encompassing workshop topics, expert introductions, deliverable sprints, and accountability check-ins selected in partnership with each founder or team.

  • Continuous progress: The programme emphasises transformation through targeted action, rapid iteration, feedback loops, and regular milestone reviews. Progress and focus are reassessed at key points, allowing for pivots and deep dives that fit the venture’s emerging needs.

  • Real-world impact: Clients access Graham’s global network, sector insights, and domain expertise, leveraging opportunities for collaboration, visibility, and investor introductions as required by their distinct path.

This programme ensures the process is always relevant, responsive, and practical-aligning every session, tool, and resource to the objectives shaped in discovery and redefined by ongoing progress. The only “standard” is a relentless focus on founder and team success, growth, and long-term impact for EdTech and AI innovation.

What is innovation?

Innovation is the buzzword every leader loves to drop, but most organisations unknowingly sabotage it before it takes root. In this provocative article, Graham reveals how conformity, rigid hierarchies, and fear act as an “innovation immune system,” quietly killing creativity and fresh thinking just when it’s needed most.

Wondering what truly sparks breakthrough ideas and why diversity is the antidote to groupthink?

Discover why real innovation demands more than lip service, and why daring to disrupt the status quo is often met with resistance. Click through to unlock insights that challenge mainstream assumptions about innovation and discover what’s really required for lasting change.

    Working with Graham helped me turn the abstract into a tangible, action-oriented strategy. We began at the beginning and rediscovered how my life experiences to date have shaped who I am — and we used that fresh perspective to create frameworks for navigating a personal future.
