What are the terms for VC partners?
Please get in touch with us and we will discuss details: [email protected]
Please reach out to us as some investors prefer discretion.
Yes, we definitely try. That is part of the programme as well, equipping companies with the help, resources and programmes they need to fund their company and drive their business.
No, the startup does not have to pay anything. We set up mutually beneficial relationships with our VC partners to align incentives for maximum results.
Of course! They will get their chance once they have finished the programme and ready for primetime.
Next to helping them get 2-3 new clients and/ or pilots during the programme, helping with fundraising is the point. Our goals is to help your portfolio raise their round within 2-3 months of completing the programme and we introduce them to around 40 targeted investors and CVCs from our network.
Because "hands-on" VCs like a16z get better inbound and as our partner, you can position your fund as more than just a top investor, but also a major growth, distribution and sales partner for your portfolio.
