Of course not!
Startups should NEVER pay to be part of accelerators or incubators
We give you cash, not the other way around 🙂
If you read the details above and know Matt and 4WARD.VC, you already know the answer. You won’t be part of some nameless, faceless cohort – we’ll be down & dirty partners in crime, leveraging my network, systems and hustle to help you power your business forward.
It’ll be intense, but it will be worth it!
No,
If I/we don’t bring 10-100x the value of a measly 5% of your company, we’re doing something wrong. Between clients, investors, grant funding and scaleable growth, we plan to 2-4x your valuation within 10 weeks – no scammy Google/FB ads to “fake” your J-curve growth necessary!
For seed stage companies, we invest $100k for 5%.
For pre-seed, we do $50k for 5%.
And after the program, we open the round to our syndicate as well which can add anywhere from $50-500k, depending on LP interest.
Of course!
You will get your chance once you’ve finished the program and are ready for primetime.
Next to helping you get 2-5+ new clients and/or pilots during the program, helping you with fundraising is the point 🙂
Our goal’s to help you raise your round within 2-3 months of completing the program and we introduce you to 20-40 targeted investors (and CVCs) in our network to get you in the door and get great co-investors onboard.
Yes, we will definitely try. That’s part of the program as well, equipping you with the help, resources and programs you need to non-dilutively fund your company and drive your business.
Currently, we aren’t a fund…
But that may or may not be very likely to change… in which case, it only makes sense for an accelerator to invest in the round and do follow-on checks as well. Not that we are officially a fund or that we’re promising anything, but hopefully you catch my drift 🙂
