In Summer X program, during June and July, we are connecting TOP Advisors with ambitious companies who understand that these summer months are the absolute best to build your success (and also 16% of the whole year).

Now is your chance to become an advisor for Summer X Accelerator companies (or any other company on our platform). So no matter if you already have a profile on our platform or not, make yourself available! 



Here’s how it works:


In this 2 month rapid leadership accelerator, you will be matched with some of the most promising startups in Europe. Through our platform, you can add yourself to any and all advisory pools, and the team leaders can book an advisory session with you. So you can select which companies you want to meet.

In addition, you will be added to advisory pools based on your expertise and interests. We will match you with companies that are looking for you. The 1st session with these companies are free, but as part of the accelerator format, the teams also have credits they can use to book followup sessions with you, if you have delivered value. 

Why make yourself available?


If you are…

A) Looking to become an advisor in a startup that shares your goals, we are opening the door for you right here. Our goal is to match you two together, and we hope each session leads into something more than nice chat.

B) Looking for new customers who you would love to show your expertise and get to work for. You can enter their advisor pools and let them know what is it that you could help them out with.

c) Looking to be inspired, share your expertise and learn from others. Become part of this accelerator and we will do all it takes to connect you to the opportunities to do just that.

The best part, you might be able to make money with your advice. Read more about how Prönö works for Professional advisors. 

But what about my Holiday plans?


There’s no need to say goodbye to your holiday plans. Becoming an advisor on Prönö is not a full-time job, not even in this accelerator. You can make yourself available with your calendar link or let us know when you will be able to meet the teams. Declining session requests in a respectful and timely manner is also perfectly ok, if your summer plans have changed and you are off-grid.

Our goal is to be able to provide you with at least 1-2 online sessions with teams who need your expertise and experience, but after that, it is up to you how much you want to contribute.

If you are interested, but not sure… send us (or chat) your thoughts and we’ll be happy to answer any and all questions you might have at info@prono.fi.

So, do you want to become an advisor for Summer X Accelerator?
