Dominic McGregor Launches The Fearless Accelerator: A New Avenue to Entrepreneurial Growth

● Applications now open for a 12-week growth-focused programme designed for freelancers, self-employed individuals, and small business owners.

● 15 fully funded places available for Cheshire and Warrington-based founders through Department for Education (DfE) Skills Bootcamps funding.

● Built by founders, for founders — leveraging over 800 success stories across 13 cohorts of its award-winning Digital Marketing Bootcamp.

Manchester, Tuesday 13th May — Educational training provider Another Avenue has officially launched The Fearless Accelerator — a 12-week business fundamentals skills bootcamp designed to help self-employed founders, freelancers, and micro-business owners formalise, optimise, and grow their businesses.

Founded in 2022 as the sister company to venture capital firm Fearless Adventures, Another Avenue was created by a trio of seasoned entrepreneurs — Dominic McGregor (former COO of Social Chain), David Newns, and Charlie Yates. With a front-row seat to the real challenges early-stage entrepreneurs face, they’ve channelled their experience into creating the course they wish they'd had when scaling their own businesses.

Covering finance, operations, marketing, leadership, and more, The Fearless Accelerator is designed for founders ready to move beyond survival mode and into sustainable growth. Participants will benefit from live, expert-led training delivered by professionals actively scaling businesses today, alongside 1:1 mentoring, a like-minded peer cohort for accountability, and a clear, tailored, actionable growth plan on completion.

This business fundamentals programme runs just one day per week, making it fully accessible for busy founders and freelancers, with the first cohort kicking off on Wednesday, 25th June 2025.

Previously operating under Basecamp Skills, Another Avenue’s mission remains unchanged: to remove barriers and open doors for those ready to take the next step — whether launching a digital career or scaling a business. To date, it has supported over 800 learners through its multi-award-winning Digital Marketing Skills Bootcamp, offering guaranteed job interview opportunities to graduates.

Thanks to new funding from the Department for Education’s Skills for Life Bootcamp programme, The Fearless Accelerator offers fully funded places for eligible applicants in Cheshire and Warrington. Applicants outside the region are warmly welcomed, although funding availability may vary.

Dominic McGregor, co-founder of Fearless Adventures and Another Avenue said: “I’ve spoken to hundreds of entrepreneurs, and they all say the same thing: 'How do I scale my business?' At Another Avenue, we believe thriving small businesses and entrepreneurial spirit are the backbone of a strong local economy. That’s why we’ve launched The Fearless Accelerator — to equip early-stage founders with the skills, strategies, and networks they need to grow and succeed.”

Rachel McDonald, Group Managing Director added: “We’re all excited to launch this next chapter in our educational offering. We’ve taken everything we’ve learnt from successfully training over 800 students in the last two years and applied our passion for entrepreneurship to help ambitious founders accelerate their goals. The Fearless Accelerator is about real-world growth, real-world impact, and supporting the brilliant people building the businesses of tomorrow.”
