Program highlights

Your real decisions, worked weekly, not theory, not office hours.

Operators, not observers, a bench that has done what you’re doing.

Momentum you can measure, a plan, metrics, and follow-through.

About this program

Advice is cheap; attention is rare. For three months, you work beside a matched bench of experienced operators, people who have built, hired, priced, shipped, and sold, in weekly in-person working sessions at the McLean hub. No generic office hours: every session works on your actual decisions of that week, with follow-through checked the next. Month one establishes your operating plan and the metrics that matter; months two and three execute against it, with your mentors opening doors on purpose, potential customers, partners, and the licensed professionals you’ll eventually need. You leave with momentum you can measure and a bench that keeps answering the phone.

What you get

1 Weekly in-person working sessions
2 Matched Mentor Bench
3 Operating plan + Metrics
4 Accountability Follow-Through
5 Purposeful Introductions
6 Community & Event Access

Prerequisites

1 A Live Venture (Revenue or Active Build)

Frequently asked questions

How are mentors matched?
By venture stage, industry, and the specific decisions in front of you, reviewed by people, not filters.
What if the match isn’t right?
Tell us in week one or two and we re-match. The bench works only if it fits.
Is this an investment program?
No. Mentors serve as advisors, not investors, inside the program, and ARAMHub never takes compensation tied to any investment.
Can remote founders join?
The program is built around in-person sessions in McLean; if you’re not local, the Accelerator’s hybrid format may fit better.
