When it really matters

Event night,
covered

The night of your ceremony isn't the night to be on hold. Agency tier puts an engineer one message away — including evenings and weekends — on every date you've flagged as a live event.

You tell us when your events are

At onboarding, Agency customers give us their event calendar. On every registered event date — ceremony night, judging deadline, sponsor reveal — you get a direct founder line. No paying for cover you don't need.

Founder direct line on event days

Agency customers get a contact who's reachable on registered event days, including evenings and weekends. Drop a message during your ceremony, you get a real person. Not a ticket queue.

Status page kept live

Every Accolade incident, current and historical, on a single public status page. Subscribe and your whole team gets notified the moment something changes.
