Why We Are Different
We are pioneering a new way of supporting entrepreneurs. While the growth of accelerator programmes has mushroomed, they tend to be somewhat programmatic and time-bound. Our experience shows that new ventures work at their own pace rather than at the pace of accelerator programmes. We patiently work with our entrepreneurs, giving them courage, guidance, and the extra support they need to transition into founders that others would bet on.
