In this interview excerpt, Clara (Speaker B) explains why she values the accelerator's cohort model. She emphasizes her passion for community building and highlights that a small cohort fosters personal attention and enables pairing participants with complementary skills. Clara notes that the accelerator has already connected her with members from a previous cohort, leading to discussions about collaborative projects. She argues that the cohort model offers an often‑undervalued opportunity: participants can form partnerships that help each of them achieve their MRO (Minimum Revenue Objective) goals through joint efforts.

What has the experience of the cohort been like? Because it's not just you and me and my team, it's you and me and my team and your cohort members. How do you, how do you like the cohort model?
Yeah, I, I love the cohort model. I mean, like I said, I'm big into building community, so I think it only makes sense that I'm always here for a cohort. I'm here for a community. I think it's super important to have other people who are going through what it is that you're going through, um, so that you can share both the wins and the challenges. What I appreciate about the accelerator is that you keep the cohort small so that obviously you can focus on each of us individually, but you also pair us together with folks where our skill sets and also our businesses might work together synergistically as well. I know that you've already connected me with a couple of folks from Cohort 1, and we've been discussing, you know, different ways we can collaborate and work together. And that I think is a really undersold opportunity within the accelerator as well, is just like, oh, like not only are you going through this with somebody else, but you You can also partner up with them and you can both get to your MRO goals together through different collaborations or partnerships.
