Fast FWD: Phoenix’s New Accelerator Helping Software Startups Hit $300K ARR

A new 12-month accelerator from PHX FWD is helping early-stage software founders scale from traction to repeatable growth.

PHX FWD has officially launched the Fast FWD Accelerator, a 12-month program designed to help early-stage software founders in the Valley grow from ~$100K in ARR to $300K and beyond — a stage that’s often overlooked by traditional accelerators.

This is not another pitch-deck bootcamp. Fast FWD is founder-led, growth-obsessed, and unapologetically focused on traction. And it’s built for that stage — when you’ve got a product, a few customers, and a lot of ambition… but not yet a repeatable sales motion.
