Please submit an Expression of Interest here.


Join a cohort of business peers for two days of intensive work on growing your business faster. Facilitated by experienced entrepreneurs and venture investors, you'll work on evaluating and refining growth opportunities. You'll challenge your plans and apply new entrepreneurial methods to your business.


Participants will gain value through:

  • Intensive work on your business
  • Practical methods and tools
  • Peer-to-peer advice
  • Expert live panel discussions
  • Unique content from the startup world that augments your existing business skills
  • Networks and relationships built through the accelerator
  • Immerse yourself in the same collaborative environment that is frequented by founders of high growth startups, their mentors and venture investors to work on your business growth


"We were able to quickly achieve mutual trust and respect enabling us to pose and resolve problems together. Teaching new methods to established business operators runs the risk of rejection. It is a credit to the organisers that participants really did gain new knowledge and perspectives including me! It was also terrific fun!" - Harold Dimpel, Rocket Remit

"Taking time away from my desk to concentrate on strategy has been something I've been meaning to do for years... but it inevitably never happens. Thank you, CBRIN, for forcing me to step away from the day-to-day to think about the big picture for two whole days. I've left the workshop with a plethora of future business plans and an exciting new To Do list." - Maddie Sinclair, Catch the Sun Communications

"Prepare to be challenged, and to be grateful for it!" - Ken Taylor, Silvertone UAV


Apply by submitting an EOI. Successful applicants will be contacted and provided the code required to purchase tickets, along with further details closer to the event date.
