FAST FWD
ACCELERATOR

Coaching • Capital • Community

The Fast FWD Accelerator is a 12-month program that helps Phoenix-based Stage 2 software companies grow from $100K to $300K ARR.

It’s a one-to-many model built for maximum impact, combining capital, coaching, and community to unlock real traction.

What you get

  • 1-year coaching program to help you reach $300K ARR. Content will focus on:

    1) Founder-led sales with an MVP
    2) The Founder Mindset
    3) Your Vision and Plan

  • 90-day capital raising course to help you raise a pre-seed round. The course will be modified for you if you’ve already raised a pre-seed round.

  • Monthly in-person structured meetings and weekly async check-ins. You’ll also have weekly Zoom meetings focused on sales strategy and tactics to help you grow to $300K ARR.

  • You’ll be grouped with peers running software companies in Stage 2.

  • Dedicated Slack channel for connection, accountability, and support.

  • Access to PHX FWD’s advisory board of successful Stage 6 & 7 software founders.

  • Includes one paid ticket to the annual PHX FWD Founders Retreat where we kick off Fast FWD and the new year of Masterminds.

  • Exclusive access to highly curated PHX FWD content and special events.

Who’s it for

The Investment

An investment is required. The cost of Fast FWD is $12,500 for the one year program (paid after you raise a pre-seed round). If you’ve already raised a pre-seed round, the Fast FWD program fee is $7,500.

We know that when busy founders make an investment, they show up, contribute, and get far more out of the experience.
