Remote Accelerator Program
Where passion meets purpose and profit.
You have the vision. We give you the structure, accountability, and the confidence you need to build momentum and scale.
The Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator is a 12-week intensive program for entrepreneurs who are building ventures in health, education, and tourism. We help you turn your hyperfocus, creativity, and drive into a sustainable business that creates real impact.
What Do Participants Receive?
Built For Social Entrepreneurs
You’re building something that matters. You see a problem in the world that needs solving, and you have the drive, the vision, and the commitment to do something about it.
We help you scale your mission, grow your revenue, and create measurable impact in the world.
Social entrepreneurship combines business innovation with social impact. It generates revenue while solving pressing problems. And it measures success by both financial returns and positive outcomes in the world.
Most accelerators are built for traditional startups chasing growth at any cost. We’re not.
We work with founders who believe that profit and purpose are not in conflict. That a sustainable business model is the most powerful tool for creating lasting change. And that the best companies solve real problems for real people.
This accelerator is built on that belief. We give you the structure, the mentorship, the marketing system, and the network to scale your venture without compromising your mission.

Case studies, testimonials and stories from people and teams we’ve worked with
“I was able to dial in on my niche, my process and my offer and really learn how to use AI to create better quality for my audience. Thank you Kyle for your expertise, your openness and your willingness to share this quality information.
I found the tools he used for mapping out my entire coaching program and then creating a visual roadmap that I can offer to my clients make it much easier to sell my retreats and coaching.”
Sebastian Hernandez
Coach, Ignite Self-Mastery
“Fitplan empowers fitness influencers to share their training routines through our app for iPhone and Android.
Kyle helped us implement our initial brand storytelling and video marketing strategies, which were instrumental in the process of filming and promoting our influencer’s content.
As a result, we were able to get our first million users and raise series A and B rounds and eventually sell the company.”
Cam Speck
Cofounder, Fitplan App
“Kyle helped me build a remote French language coaching business that has allowed me to travel the world and indulge my love of learning and teaching languages.
I get consistent leads from my Google business profile that he helped me optimize with content, links, reviews and citations.
Just by ranking in Vancouver for local French language searches, I have consistent clients while I travel the world and just spend the summers in Canada. I highly recommend him!”
Océane de Decker
Coach, Have Fun Learning French
“Kyle helped us set up a successful affiliate program for Enophones and our brainwave entrainment music platform that is now getting $5K-10K/month in extra sales.
We are a tech wearable brand that helps improve focus and productivity with EEG-powered headphones and we were able to sell out all our stock and invest in a new version of the technology that will be released in 2026.”
Roy Burstin
Cofounder & CEO, Enophones

What Types of Ventures Qualify?
We work with founders who are building businesses that help people get a specific result and solve a very specific problem.
This might look like:
- Group experiences, workshops, and retreats
- Group coaching or online membership communities
- A product or service with a clear, measurable outcome for customers
- A community or movement built around a shared mission
- An app, platform, or tool that transforms how people learn, heal, or explore
Your venture should be rooted in one of our three focus sectors: health, education, or tourism.
