The Axis Accelerator at University of New Brunswick Saint John is seeking applicants for its six-month program for business-to-business startups from across Atlantic Canada looking to grow their revenues and prepare to raise capital.

The program will begin in the spring and requires three to five hours per week from participants. It is aimed at positioning the founder of a company as its lead salesperson, as well as bolstering lead conversion and developing a scalable sales strategy. For 12 months after the end of the accelerator, participants will continue to have access to coaching, mentorship and office space.

Launched as a pilot through the Faculty of Business in Saint John in early 2023, the accelerator currently has places for 10 founders. This year alone, 29 founders from 19 companies have gone through the Axis Sales Accelerator, said the organizers.

Anyone interested in the program can complete a form here to sign up for a 30-minute, virtual discovery call.
