"I think my biggest 'a-ha!' moment so far is the Pyramid Principle for communicating, starting with the big idea, and then supporting it with logic and facts." - Jill Catedrilla

Working in product, Jill interacts with a number of different audiences and people in her day-to-day work. Recognizing the importance of these interactions, she joined Accel Institute’s Effective Business Communication course because she knew it would be a great opportunity to learn directly from the experts.

Through the course, Jill gained a practical communication toolkit and learned frameworks to help her know exactly when and how to apply these skills directly at work. She discovered a structured way to organize ideas using the Pyramid Principle , which focuses on communicating clearly, concisely, and logically in business settings. Beyond the curriculum, she also valued the opportunity to connect and network with professionals from a variety of different fields.

"The feedback of the investors is a really big help."- B**g Gutierrez

As CEO of BSP Holdings, B**g Gutierrez joined Accel Institute’s Fundraising for Business course at a crucial stage of growth for his company. While his business was scaling quickly, he knew he didn’t want to rely solely on consultants when it came to fundraising decisions.

Through the course, B**g gained a clearer understanding of how fundraising works from an investor’s perspective — from identifying the right investors to approach, to preparing the materials and information they actually look for. More importantly, the direct feedback and guidance from Accel’s instructors helped him refine how he presents his business and think more strategically about raising capital.

For founders navigating growth, having the right fundraising framework can make all the difference.
