Accelerator platform — UX overview

Admins are redirected here automatically after login. The hub holds account-level tools: users & roles, task assignment, meeting notes, slide submissions, mentor approvals, executive brief, AI agents, course modules and seed money.

The operational home for the Accelerator. One page renders a header (program name, counts, quick links) and ~20 tabs. Every tab is its own panel component — this is where almost all admin work happens.

Admins triage incoming applications (submitted → under review → accepted / rejected), schedule interviews and send decision emails. Accepting a team creates their startup record and unlocks their cohort dashboard.

Admin matches mentors to each startup; matches appear on the founder dashboard under "Your Network" and drive mentor-facing views.

Admin defines day, start time, timezone, Zoom link and how many weeks the recurring cohort meeting runs, then sends the Outlook/ICS invite. Two automations then send a day-before reminder and a 1-hour-before reminder.

Approve coaches, chase unsigned Letters of Understanding, review submitted session hours, approve corrections and mark payments. This tab is the admin mirror of everything coaches submit.

Founders submit a weekly check-in (focus area + status). Admins and assigned coaches review them, leave notes, and use them to steer the next session.

Create event days (traction / demo / fundraising), compose the instructional email, send invites, and track presentation order. Teams upload their decks from their own dashboard.

Founders apply for grants (with proof, W-9 and check request uploads). Admin reviews status: applied → first grant approved/paid → demo day → second grant.

Group chat posts, marketing pushes, webinar invites, participant invites and the winter-break message series all live in their own tabs. Copy for automated sends lives in the backend functions, not in a template file.
