Our Story
Quiet Accelerator was formed in 2020 because we recognised how tough it is to get disruptive technologies underway and the razzmatazz that sometimes accompanies Accelerators with their programmatic approach is not always the answer. QA built on Shai Vyakarnam’s 20+ years of experience, Mehrdad Silatani's vision that there could be a better way to help startups and Katherine Smith’s interest in investing in early-stage businesses that can change the world. This team quickly grew to include technologists and other experts in their field. We are a team of entrepreneurs, technologists and investors, passionate about providing patient captial and support to early-stage business ideas that can change the world.
Our Core Values
We cherish proactive entrepreneurial behaviours that show COURAGE and understand it takes time so WE ARE PATIENT. Not everything in business is about just making money. We bring our diverse and deep experience to do our best for very early stage businesses - we strive to GIVE BACK to the community whilst always remembering to HAVE FUN.
