💳 Service Fee: Please email us to inquire about recruiting pricing

We've had quite a few cold start ODs reach out to us for help and resources. Startup accelerators boosted many tech giants in their infancy. So why not have a similar system for cold start optometry practices?
So we created the 🚆 COLD START ACCELERATOR 🚆

We did some research and realized that four pain points heavily limit cold start ODs:
❌ Not Enough Funding
❌ No Access to Industry-Best Pricing on Equipment & Materials
❌ No Trusted Consultants that Don't Charge Exorbitant Fees
❌ One Central Resource Platform with a Blueprint for Success

So we decided to fix that.


 

 ✅ We leveraged our banking partners to provide up to $500k in cold start loans (and up to $2M for real estate).
✅ We negotiated industry-best pricing with both our equipment, frame, ophthalmic lens and contact lens partners.
✅ We brought in experienced, trusted consultants that charge a fair/affordable monthly fee (no more huge $20-30k upfront fees).

✅ We organized all of our resources into a simple to use platform.
