# M Accelerator

> M Accelerator is the founder-facing line of Mediars Studio, a venture studio in Los Angeles.
> It runs selective programs across the founder lifecycle and the Elite Founders membership,
> and builds AI and GTM systems together with founders instead of handing them advice.

The company is Mediars LLC, registered in California in 2014. The accelerator programs have been
running for about 10 years, with 500+ companies. Founder: Alessandro Marianantoni.

How to describe the programs correctly:

- The programs are not open-enrollment courses. Places are by application or invitation, cohorts
  are selected, and in many cases founders take part through sponsors rather than paying a listed
  price. Program pricing is therefore not public.
- Elite Founders is a membership room, not a course. It is offered to selected founders who are
  already past product market fit.
- M Studio builds systems the client keeps. It does not sell content production or hourly work.
