Founded in Hamburg in 2019
Since 2019, Accelerated has helped 400+ DTC Brands grow with paid ads, funnels and AI.
Carl Weische and Lars Schröder founded Accelerated in Hamburg. Carl came from running his own Shopify and Amazon brand, Lars from conversion rate optimization, and both wanted to understand what actually makes people buy.
The first clients were smaller online stores. Over time the work moved to ongoing A/B testing and CRO for larger brands, and since 2023 the firm has worked with brands like AG1 and The Oodie.
Today Accelerated is a team of 52 people. The company is bootstrapped, with no outside investors, and takes on at most 25 done-for-you brands at a time.
Meet our leadership team

How we work
The same five steps, whether your team builds it with us or our team runs it for you.
01
Find the bottleneck
In the first week we go through your reviews, heat maps, recordings, funnel data, surveys and support tickets, and read what customers say on Reddit, on Amazon and under your ads.
That shows where people drop off, where the biggest potential sits and who you are really selling to.
You getThe one bottleneck to fix first and a clear picture of your customer.

Set the roadmap
Every idea gets scored on 10 KPIs, from quantitative and qualitative data to user motivation, position on the page and effort. Each one lands on a score from 0 to 100.
The ideas most likely to win get built first.

03
Build the system
We build one funnel per awareness stage. People who are ready to buy go to a product page with a strong bundle offer. Warmer traffic goes through a listicle first. Cold traffic gets a long advertorial, VSL or quiz before the offer.
At scale, every strong creative gets its own funnel.

Test what moves profit
We A/B test everything before it touches the live page, starting above the fold with product images, value proposition and offer.
Every test gets judged by profit per session, which is why the offer, pricing and bundles come first.
You getWinners measured in revenue and profit.

Version BWinner

Scale what wins
Winners go live on your store and the next test starts. Post-purchase upsells typically bring 20 to 40% of total AOV, so you can pay more for a customer.
Then we double down on what works and raise spend.
You getA funnel that keeps getting stronger as you scale.

112 answers on our FAQ page
Questions we get on every call
All 112 answersGetting started
01What does Accelerated do?
We help eCommerce brands grow with paid ads, funnels and AI. Brands from $50k a month build the system with us in six months (done with you). Brands from $1M a month hand conversion rate optimization and funnel pages to our team (done for you).
02Who is this for?
DTC brands that sell a physical product from their own store and do at least $50k a month. Below that, the free playbook is the better start.
03Done with you or done for you?
Your revenue and your team decide it, and the form asks for both. On the call you hear which one fits and why.
04How do I know this will work for my brand?
Nobody can promise that on a web page, so the call starts with your numbers. Across 400+ brands we have most likely seen your category. Ask for the case closest to yours on the call.
Working together
05How much does it cost?
The price depends on the brand and the way of working that fits, so we do not publish prices. You get the price on the call, after the audit of your store, ads and funnel.
06How long does an engagement last?
Both ways of working run for six months. Accelerated Advisory is a six-month program that ends with the system running inside your company. Accelerated Partnership runs on a six-month term, with the scope set at the start based on your size.
07How soon can we start?
Accelerated Advisory starts with a 15-minute onboarding call in the first week, followed by the audit and a roadmap within 14 days. Accelerated Partnership onboarding takes 10 to 14 days, with the first A/B test live within two weeks.
08Does AI replace my marketing team?
No. AI workflows make a small team faster at research, copy and analysis, while people still decide the offer, approve the pages and run the ad account.
09What makes this different from an agency or a course?
With done with you, your team builds the system with us, and what it builds stays in your company. With done for you, a dedicated team works on your store with weekly reporting. A course gives you theory and leaves the work to you.
The first call
10What happens on the first call?
We go through your last three months: store, ad accounts and funnel. We name the part of your growth system that is capping revenue, then say which way of working fits, done with you or done for you, and what it costs. If we're the wrong fit, you'll hear that in the first ten minutes.
11Is the first call free?
Yes. The first call is a free growth audit. The call ends with a clear yes or no, and both are fine answers.
12What do I need to do next?
Book a call. It takes two minutes to pick a time. Bring a co-founder or your head of marketing if they have a say.
