Funding
Become investor ready and secure funding
During phase two of our accelerator program, you will get training and support needed to secure funding.
Pitch training
Get pitch training by a professional. You will learn what a good pitch contains and how to deliver a persuasive and audience-centered message that will get your ‘wow’ across.
Pitch deck
Experts will give guidance and feedback to make sure your slides match your story. In the week of December 4th, it’s time to evaluate your complete pitch. We will organize an online practice session with a C-level jury for your last round of feedback.
Pitch Tank event
This day is D-day. We will wrap up this funding phase during our online pitch tank event. We select relevant investors for each cohort and for your current solution. Then you will pitch and get on the spot matches with these investors to secure funding.
