BootstrapAccelerator is a program where we engage with startups that have some initial traction to help them go to the next level.

It is primarily based on getting the entrepreneurs and founders access to mentoring and a group of Silicon Valley based advisors to help the company and prepare the company to get US proof points and become ready for scale-up.

We don’t “help companies to get funded”, but making sure the company get’s funded to execute is one component of many for us.

For the BootstrapAccelerator we do look outside of our network (in contrast to our Business Lab), and we are looking for exceptional entrepreneurs with great companies. Prezi is a good example of such a company with great founders, product and execution, and we are very proud to be part of their story.

We would like to see:

• Passionate founders.
• Great product idea.
• Brilliant engineering.
• We do not have fixed segment, but right now we are focusing on Internet, Media, SaaS, Software and Cloud segments.

You need to have:

• A very disruptive product or business idea.
• Your product in alpha, beta or launched it already.
• Initial team in place (that is a team covering the core management roles).
• Some customer/user validation from your first product.
• Some funding.
