# Start an on-demand Accelerator

Complete the Accelerator fulfillment process without squad assistance.

## Before you begin

Role required: Impact app admin, Impact platform owner, or Impact portfolio owner

## About this task

The self-serve flow for on-demand Accelerators is structured across different types of activities grouped as questionnaire, transformation, and action plan. Each group has multiple steps with a set of instructions and related forms that you must complete in order. At the end of the self-serve flow, download the 90-day action plan for the selected Accelerator.

## Procedure

1.  View the on-demand Accelerators in **Impact** > **Accelerators and Initiatives** > **Catalog** by selecting **Show on-demand Accelerators only** in the **All Accelerators and Initiatives** section.

    The catalog page displays flash cards of the Accelerators that also have the on-demand option in the **Accelerators and Initiatives** section. \[Omitted image "ondemand\_accelerators\_catalog\_page.png"\] Alt text: View flash cards for only the on-demand Accelerators in the Accelerators and Initiatives section.
