Quick answer

What does AcceleratorApp do for corporate innovation teams?

AcceleratorApp is a program management platform for corporate innovation teams. It handles open innovation challenge intake, multi-stage evaluation, internal accelerator management, expert coordination, milestone tracking, and C-suite reporting in one system. Granular role-based permissions let every stakeholder see exactly what their role requires. Most teams are live within one to two weeks. Plans start from $499 per month.

The problem

Corporate programs run on projects, not platforms

01

Corporate programs run on projects, not platforms

Innovation challenges happen in PowerPoint. Submissions come in through email. Evaluation lives in a spreadsheet. Legal wants one format, IT security wants another, the business unit lead has their own tracker. The innovation manager is the connective tissue between all of them.

02

Every stakeholder wants a different view

Business unit sponsors want the pipeline summary. Legal wants flagged submissions. The C-suite sponsor wants outcome metrics. Nobody wants to wait for the innovation manager to build each view manually.

03

Configurations get rebuilt every challenge cycle

The challenge intake form, the routing logic, the evaluation rubric, and the stakeholder assignments are rebuilt from scratch every cycle. Setup cost repeats instead of compounding.

Signature capability

Every stakeholder the right access, without making them an admin

AcceleratorApp gives business units, legal, the C-suite, and external participants exactly the level of access their role requires. Permissions are set once and applied automatically across every program.

Capabilities

Everything a corporate innovation team runs on, live today

Ten connected workflows on one platform, including AI scoring, AI coaching, and AI reporting. Not a roadmap. All of it is in the product now.

Challenge intake

Open innovation at any volume

Build challenge forms with business unit routing. Eligibility screening runs automatically. Reviewers get their assigned batch without you distributing it.

Multi-stage evaluation

Business unit, legal, and committee, in sequence

Each stakeholder reviews their stage independently. The committee meeting starts from a shortlist, not a full submission pile.

Expert coordination

Internal and external expert sessions

Build pools of domain experts and mentors. Match them to innovation teams. Every session is logged and notes attach to the team record.

Internal accelerator

Cohort programs inside the company

Configure internal tracks with milestone timelines, team workspaces, and expert access. Progress visible in the parent-corporate dashboard.

RBAC

Every role sees exactly the right thing

Business unit reviewers, legal, C-suite observers, external participants, and internal champions. Permissions are set once and applied automatically.

Reporting

C-suite reporting without the deck rebuild

Pipeline metrics, milestone progress, and program outcomes in a dashboard you can share with program sponsors directly.

Chat

Direct messaging built in

Message your program team, experts, and internal innovation teams without leaving the platform.

Live
AI application scoring

AI scores every challenge submission

The AI evaluator scores submissions against your program thesis and business unit criteria before human reviewers engage.

Live
AI applicant coaching

AI coaches teams before they submit

Internal teams and external startups get structured AI feedback on submissions before the evaluation stage.

Live
AI reporting

Ask your pipeline anything

Ask questions about your innovation pipeline and program metrics in plain English. No export required.

Funding Module

Distribute innovation funding from the same platform

When your program awards funding, grants, or pilot budgets to selected teams, the post-award layer is built in. AcceleratorApp's Funding Module handles recipient onboarding, milestone tracking, compliance enforcement, disbursement approval workflows, and audit trails. No separate platform needed.

Why AcceleratorApp

Built for the governance enterprise innovation requires

The differences that matter when multiple business units, legal, and the C-suite all need a stake in the same program.

Multi-stakeholder RBAC, configured once

Business units, legal, C-suite observers, and external participants each get a scoped role. Set permissions once; they apply automatically across every program.

C-suite read-only dashboards, no admin seats

Executive sponsors get a live pipeline and outcome view without access to raw submissions or scores. They stop emailing you for status updates.

Most teams are live within one to two weeks

Guided onboarding, no consultants required. White-label and full migration included for every new customer.

Configurations compound, not repeat

Intake forms, routing rules, rubrics, and stakeholder assignments are saved and reusable. Each new challenge cycle starts from the last.
