The Rise Accelerator

7September 2026

Delivered as a NZFINAccelerate product for SMEs looking to grow and scale, the RISE Accelerator is a practical, high-impact programme designed to help founder-led food and beverage brands grow with more focus, confidence, and commercial clarity.

This live, online, 10 week programme combines expert-led training, personalised coaching, practical tools, and a supportive community to help participants step out of the weeds and focus on what will drive the biggest commercial impact in their business.

Across the programme, participants develop a personalised 12 month growth plan, giving them a clearer roadmap for where to focus, how to strengthen the foundations of the business, and how to scale in a way that is more sustainable and commercially sound.

Led by Rebecca Brook, the Accelerator will help you:
  • Build a step-by-step 12 month growth plan tailored to your business & stage
  • Identify and prioritise the best opportunities to grow and scale, most quickly and profitably.
  • Strengthen the commercial drivers of your business, including pricing, margin, channel focus, and sales growth
  • Access valuable insights, expert support, and industry connections
  • Join a community of like-minded founders navigating similar growth challenges
