We provide support across a range of core areas that we know are a focus for startups. This includes providing general and specialist mentorship from our wide network of external mentors, access to the Accelerating Asia Ventures Founder Community so you have peer support, branding & PR opportunities, fundraising support, access to regional networks for growth and scaling. Plus dedicated 1-1 support from our in-house Entrepreneurs in Residence with exits who have faced the same challenges and blocks you have.
In our last cohort, startups had sessions with the region’s leading investment firms including Golden Gate Ventures, Monk’s Hill, Cocoon Capital and Sequoia. We also run dedicated sessions with Entrepreneurs in Residence so you can deep dive into focus areas. And of course, our masterclasses which cover capital raising, pitch coaching, sales and growth.
As an Accelerating Asia Ventures startup, your program fee also unlocks the our powerful network and connections to leading angels, VCs and partners plus perks from AWS, Hubspot, Stripe and more.
