Led by Queen's Partnerships and Innovation and delivered by Stiletto Consulting, the Growth Acceleration program was a three-month program for post revenue startups and SMEs in eastern Ontario that 1) are developing and selling new software or hardware technologies or science-based solutions, 2) have demonstrated customer traction and have annual recurring revenue and/or have recently attracted investment, and 3) are poised to grow. The program was available by application and intake process for eligible clients.
The program was delivered by Stiletto Consulting.
