Program Overview
The next level
of the Business of People
The Advanced Accelerator builds on everything you learned in the foundational program. Having established your storytelling foundation, mapped your social capital, and built your Fab 50 — you’re now ready to activate, deepen, and scale those relationships with more sophisticated frameworks.
This program is designed exclusively for Accelerator alumni who are ready to translate the Business of People into measurable organizational growth, more powerful donor relationships, and the kind of network that compounds over time.
Led by ECF Founder Kent Seton, the Advanced program goes beyond concepts and into advanced strategy — helping you turn what you’ve built into lasting impact.

Prerequisites — Accelerator Program Required
The Advanced Accelerator is designed exclusively for graduates of the ECF Accelerator Program. The foundational concepts of storytelling, social capital, the Fab 50, and triangulation are assumed knowledge. Without this foundation, the advanced frameworks won’t land at the same depth.
