DEPTH & QUALITY OF INSIGHT
Best practice research methodologies
Doing customer research is tricky. It’s easy to hear what you want to hear and asking leading questions without even realising.
EAH’s structured approach brings genuine, actionable insights, pushing your product beyond mere assumptions.
Our robust structure cuts through biases to deliver insights that truly matter in shaping a product users want to pay for.
A NORTH STAR
Clear targets, objectives and goals every step of the way.
Understanding where to best spend your money and time can be incredibly challenging with very lasting long term impacts if you get it wrong. A lot of trial and error to be able to iterate and pivot can drain startups time, resources and energy.
EAH turns complexity into clarity, providing a well-defined pathway to accelerate your growth and minimise missteps.
You make decisions, you own the vision, we provide the guardrails to ensure you get where you want faster and better.
INDUSTRY-LED INVESTMENT: BEYOND CAPITAL
Investors that are truly aligned with your mission and vision
Raising money is long, painful and often means founders are distracted from building their product and growing their business.
That’s why we’ve put together the world’s first accounting tech focused investment syndicate.
EAH bridges the gap between your startup and investors who are specialists in accounting technology, ensuring a perfect investment synergy.
Startups we have worked with
What do our founders say?
FAQ
Our goal is to align ourselves with the success of the businesses we work with, and we want to support founders from all financial backgrounds.
In keeping with this, we offer our services in exchange for either equity, or cash.
Pricing starts as low as £2,000/$4,000 AUD, and equity ranges from 2-10%.
The earlier in your journey the better.
We want to help you avoid the common pitfalls, rather than pull you out of them (although we can help there as well).
But no matter what stage you’re at or your goals, it never hurts to begin the conversation.
We want the process to be risk-free for startups, that’s why our evaluation process is absolutely free.
Commitment is required only after being presented to our accountants and reviewing the exact number and profile of firms interested in being involved with research sessions as part of stage four in our application process.
We know early-stage startups need to be very careful with the use of their time and capital. That’s why before you commit to anything, we have a presentation to our accountants.
This ensures you know exactly how much interest there is before you commit to anything.
Once you commit, we begin your bespoke programme, which is focused on achieving your specific goals.
Most programmes involve a combination of research group workshops and 1-2-1 calls with accountants, all of which are moderated and facilitated by us to maximise the value you obtain.
For certain early-stage programmes, we also include foundation and development sessions. These allow us to share our domain expertise and help founders with messaging, positioning, pricing, sales, success, and more!
Not at all.
We support founders in preparing for, facilitating and moderating the research calls with accountants.
This ensures you can focus on listening, and avoid falling into bad (but human) habits, such as; selling, asking leading questions, and getting defensive.
It’s all about obtaining real, brutally honest feedback that is going to help you long-term.
We will help ensure you come to each call well prepared, with an agenda and line of questioning. We then provide the independent and objective third party perspective to ensure you extract maximum value.
We are currently building partnerships with product designers and developers that align with our process, so that we can refer founders to (as a separate cost).
We are flexible if you already have developers you work with, and we take into account development cycles as part of our overall process.
We have a network of investors who are knowledgeable of accounting tech space and believe in our framework and values.
However, we strongly believe that raising money isn’t a sign of success, traction with the market is a much better indicator, and therefore our primary goal.
We only connect startups with investors when it serves a clear purpose and is optimal for the startup to help achieve their goals.
Our community of accountants want to work with founders who want to work with them, to shape the next generation of accounting tech.
As a result, our approach is not about short-term sales, we focus on creating lasting relationships between accountants and startups.
So although ‘intros’ and ‘pitches’ are off the table, the startups who work with the Early Adopters Hub accounting community long-term, are well placed to win those accountants as clients in the future.
