Funding
Selected startups can receive seed funding from
one of our Accelerators, who also play a key role in
attracting growth funding from other sources.
Expertise and Experience
Our Accelerators’ key personnel are highly experienced
business leaders with a proven track record in serial
entrepreneurship. Combined with vast experience in
international business development they are able to
offer unparalleled expertise for new enterprises to
achieve success.
Networking and Connections
The Accelerators and other program participants
maintain broad networks offering a wide range of
contacts that can significantly speed up the growth of
selected companies.
Risk Sharing and Credibility
During an intensive acceleration period the Accelerators
actively participate in business development and carry
part of the business and financial risk to improve
the quality and the credibility of the companies.
Depending on the needs, Accelerators can take a very
hands-on approach in developing selected companies
or concentrate on providing funding and networks.
