The SMB Accelerator is the global 1-Day program for Main Street owners. Exited. is the downstream capital + fellowship that the alumni network graduates into.
Same family of companies. Same software. Same trust. Carried from the first day of the program through the day the deal closes.
A world-class working day with operators and experts. Owners leave profit-, AI-, capital-, and exit-ready — with the highest-leverage moves already started.
Every alum gets a full year of complimentary Bootstrapper.ai software, the SMB Accelerator Shop, and the alumni community. This is the pool we underwrite from.
The alumni subset targeting an exit in 24–36 months graduates into the OWNABLE Fellowship — and the Angel Club, Ownable Capital Fund, and SBA syndicate that fund the deals.
Most investment clubs source from cold inbound, brokers, and warm intros. We source from a working alumni network of operators we've already watched do the readiness work.
We don't run a top-of-funnel marketing engine. The SMB Accelerator does. Every alum has already done the readiness work — clean books, AI surface, exit lane — before we ever see the deal.
The alumni network produces operators who proved they'll execute. We back behavior, not pitches. The Fellowship invitation goes to the alumni subset already on a 24–36 month exit lane.
SMB Accelerator is built by Simple Holdings and powered by Bootstrapper.ai. Exited. is the capital + exit tier of that same family — so the operating system, data, and trust carry from Day 1 through Day 1,460.
The SMB Accelerator grew out of HelpGrowUSA (est. 2016) and is carried forward by the Simple Holdings family. Exited. is the capital + exit layer of that same family.
Operator-led businesses obsessed with making small business work simpler, more profitable, more ownable.
Patient capital for Main Street operators — backing the businesses, partners, and platforms strengthening the real economy.
The AI operating layer behind the accelerator — turning everyday small business work into clean systems, leverage, and compounding wins.
The angel club, capital fund, and fellowship that the SMB Accelerator alumni network graduates into when they're ready to exit.
The 1-Day Accelerator is the front door. Show up, do the work, and the rest of the path opens.
