  • Operational support – Drafting of the business plan and financial planning
  • Networking – Privileged access to our community of investors and partners

What does the Startup Advisory Program do?

Acceleration

We are the first to invest in the start-ups we select by giving them up to 4 hours of free consultancy and a success fee on the funding round that only materialises in the event of a successful capital raising.

Discovery & Selection

1.5-hour meeting to explore the merits of the business idea.

1h internal debriefing to discuss and analyse the issues that emerged during the discovery.

HRT, in a 1.5h call we present the selected start-ups with the Highlight Review Table: a document that summarises the tech, legal and business needs that emerged during the discovery phase.

The start-ups receiving HRT will be evaluated internally by the team and the most promising will receive an in-depth questionnaire, after which the best will be shortlisted.
