Accelerator Run by Founders for Founders

Led by Dmitry Grishin ($5.7B IPO founder turned VC) and a team of seasoned operators. We bring deep operational expertise, delivered by practitioners who understand both the founder’s journey and the investor’s logic. This is a direct transfer of high-velocity standards and global mindset to the London ecosystem.

Equity-Free by Design

Most accelerators take 6–10% equity for minimal investment and mentorship. We believe this dilutes founders too early and makes future fundraising harder.

Fair Contribution, No Dilution

Your £1,000 contribution covers a portion of program costs—we subsidize the rest. This allows us to deliver high-impact support without taking equity. You retain full ownership and stay attractive to investors.

Market-Rate Investments Only

If we choose to invest in your company, we do so separately on market terms—not at a micro-valuation in exchange for program access. This keeps our incentives aligned with yours.

What You Get: Designed to Close the Gap

We’ve built a focused, intense curriculum to bridge the distance between building product and building a venture-backable company.

Fundraising & Narrative Mastery

Stop guessing what investors want. Learn directly from experienced VCs how early-stage teams, technology, and markets are assessed. Refine your pitch and positioning with direct, honest feedback to raise at true market valuations—not guesswork.

Direct Pathway to Industry Leaders

Gain unfair access to the executives and partners who matter most to your industry. Through curated events and warm introductions, we put you in the same room with potential clients and strategic allies, turning cold outreach into high-value relationships.

High-Caliber Founder Community

Join a curated cohort of peers tackling the same challenges. Founders consistently rate our community as a top value driver—creating a space for shared struggle, collective intelligence, and lasting partnerships.

Hear from
Our Founders

"We learned how to run a tight process and avoid bad terms."
Before GRx, we had the pitch, but we didn't fully understand the mechanics of the deal. The program taught us how to structure the fundraising process, secure the right introductions, and crucially, how not to fall into traps with terms from different investors. It was the bridge between having a deck and actually knowing how to close a round properly.
Johnny LongdenCo-Founder of TeraSort
"For a hardware founder, preserving equity is critical."
GRx delivered incredible value from deep expertise on structuring deals to access to a network of serious investors without taking a cut of the company. The program demystified complex fundraising mechanics and surrounded me with outstanding peers. It was the perfect way to gain strategic guidance and investor exposure while keeping my cap table clean.
Adam VersteeghFounder and CEO of Inframesh
"The 'Silicon Valley' stamp opens doors."
Even as a repeat founder, the most valuable asset was the social proof. Saying we went through a Silicon Valley VC's accelerator signals quality to other investors, it turns a 'maybe' into 'let's take a meeting'. That credibility is a leverage that immediately impacts your fundraising funnel.
Sammy VergheseCo-Founder of Mucka AI
"We secured 5 VC leads and 2 commercial pilots directly from Demo Day."
The exposure was immediate and tangible. We placed a QR code on our final slide, and five funds applied to connect right there. Beyond investors, we even connected with two pilot customers and key angels in the crowd. It wasn't just a pitch event; it was real deal flow.
Andrew PershCo-founder of Oria
"It's a Silicon Valley accelerator, but in London."
My investors are from the SF, so I know the standard. This program matches that level. It helped me reach the mindset and execution speed that Dmitry teaches much faster than I could have on my own. For a founder in the UK, it's a way to bridge that gap without moving to the US.
Dimitris NeocleousCo-Founder & CEO of iME
