GSD Venture Studio’s 15-week accelerator, GSD Super Scaler has just launched yet another cohort of future unicorns. Challenging times require innovative concepts and a world without borders. The tech verticals of these exceptional startups include SaaS, B2B, B2C, and D2C.
GSD Venture Studios’ Founder and CEO Gary Fowler is a seasoned venture builder, who directs strategy based on his own success as a founder. Gary is well aware that 90% of startups fail, and that these failures are usually because companies run out of money. The entrepreneur’s dilemma is usually that they have a great idea but neither the money to grow nor the traction to raise. This is where GSD Super Scaler comes in and injects tried and true tactics to growth hack sales and position startups for funding.
"In an era marked by challenges, GSD Super Scaler is dedicated to revolutionizing outstanding startups into tomorrow's unicorns. Through our 15-week accelerator initiative, we empower determined entrepreneurs to surpass limitations and expand internationally. Recognizing that 90% of startups falter due to financial limitations, GSD Super Scaler intervenes, deploying proven strategies to enhance sales performance and equip startups for the funding opportunities they merit." - Gary Fowler, Founder & CEO of GSD Venture Studios
“I am grateful for the support and resources provided by GSD Labs. The accelerator provided us with unique exposure to family offices and strategic contacts that are rarely made with traditional VC outreach and they have in fact contributed to our recent funding round. I wholeheartedly recommend GSD Labs to any entrepreneur seeking an accelerator that goes beyond the conventional, offering a transformative journey towards innovation and success,” says Keith Ferry, Founder and CEO of Cerebrum Sensor Technologies
We had the incredible opportunity to participate in GSD Labs, and I must say it has been nothing short of transformative for both myself and my startup. From the outset, the program demonstrated a commitment to fostering innovation, providing invaluable resources, and cultivating a supportive community that propelled us towards success.
The mentorship provided throughout the accelerator was invaluable. The caliber of mentors brought a wealth of industry knowledge, experience, and a genuine passion for helping startups thrive. Their guidance was instrumental in refining our business strategy, enhancing our product-market fit, and navigating the complexities of raising capital in a challenging market environment.
What sets GSD Labs apart is its holistic approach to entrepreneurship. The curated workshops and sessions covered a broad spectrum of relevant topics, from product development and market positioning inclusive of AI to fundraising strategies and investor relations. This comprehensive curriculum ensured that we not only honed our technical skills but also gained a deep understanding of the business landscape and how to position our company for commercial success and attracting investors. The accelerator's founder Gary was involved throughout the process despite his overwhelming schedule and he personally checked-in to give his full support; he was truly committed to our success.
Networking proved to be another highlight of the program. The opportunity to forge connections with fellow entrepreneurs, industry experts, and potential investors opened doors that would have otherwise remained closed. The collaborative environment encouraged the exchange of ideas, fostering a sense of camaraderie among participants. The networking events provided an excellent platform to showcase our startup, receive constructive feedback, and establish partnerships that will undoubtedly contribute to our long-term success.
