One of the key challenges for accelerator programmes is consistently connecting entrepreneurial start ups with seed capital. Drawing on our experience in equity raising, we believe that applying professional broking resources to the startup market will create a more efficient process for early stage entrepreneurs. Working with carefully selected, best of breed accelerators we select, and source follow on investment for, their best accelerated start ups. We have invested in this early stage investment broking process to ensure its success, with key hires from the angel and VC community.
The Accelerator Funding Network selects high quality startups and entrepreneurs for post-acceleration funding support from carefully chosen accelerators. The Accelerator Funding Network takes full responsibility for organizing and running the ‘post-acceleration’ funding program. It provides sufficient resource in the form of investment data, appropriately qualified staff and senior level supervision of all stages of the investment process. It ensures all necessary regulatory approval and protocols are followed.
It maintains a live database of active early stage investors and actively resource increasing the data held, to benefit the startups it works with, through event attendance, marketing and PR activity.
