Startup Program

WHEN RAISING A PRE-SEED OR SEED ROUND, FOUNDERS NEED TO REACH OUT TO 150+ VCS AND ANGELS.

They will need to do an average of 100 meetings, taking them up to 6 months easily to find the right investor(s)

Along the road there will be a lot of no’s, as well as some other bumps and challenges.

What is the

Startup Program?

The Startup Program is a launchpad for early-stage SaaS startups to get the reach and visibility from leading SaaS VCs and investors, alongside the main program and expert-led workshops.

As part of the program, participating startups get wider exposure from the SaaS VC ecosystem through our Global Pitch Competition, designed to take their SaaS from ideation to realization and fund their growth. Between 2018 and 2019, over 300 startups passed through our Startup Program worldwide and benefited from the power of our network.

Our aim is to give SaaS startups everything they need to grow to the next level. We help them secure investment, find new customers, gain integral SaaS knowledge and meet key partners.
