Who We Back
We don't require revenue, a prototype, or a co-founder. We require a real problem, conviction, and the commitment to participate fully.
Idea stage to first revenue. We're most useful before you've locked into a path that isn't working — or when you need structure to move faster.
Preference for founders based in the Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and Jacksonville area. Remote participation considered case by case.
International founders entering the U.S. market via the Crosswater Capital Soft Landing program are eligible and encouraged to apply.
Active engagement for the full program. Members hold each other accountable — partial commitment isn't fair to the group or to your own growth.
Every AcceleratePV graduate completes the program with a full package — whether or not you raise capital.
The Ecosystem
AcceleratePV is the educational and community arm of the Crosswater Capital ecosystem. Graduates receive first look from Ponte Vedra Angels, direct access to the Crosswater Capital advisory team, and pathways into the Soft Landing program for international founders.
