Techcelerator, the accelerator for technology startups, is running, in partnership with its investment partners and the platform SeedBlink, the second edition of the Investment Readiness Program, which prepares technology startups to attract SEED investors and raise successive investment rounds of up to EUR 1 million. 

The program is tailored for technology startups in Romania and Southeast Europe that are getting ready to raise a round of SEED investments within the next 1-6 months.

To be eligible, startups must be mature; they must provide tech products, already have a product launched on the market, and have traction, stable partnerships, and customers. They must have a strong team and the ability to scale internationally.

The Investment Readiness Program will have eight sessions and will take place from June 6 to June 27, 2022. It will include one-on-one workshops and sessions on developing and refining the fundraising process, frameworks for validating company valuation, and alignment with the mindset and process of international venture capital investors. 

The program will end with a private pitching event attended by the most active partners from local and international investment funds focusing on SEED investments. Following this event, the best performing startup will receive an investment award of up to EUR 500,000, led by Techcelerator and the program investment partners, with co-investment participation through the SeedBlink platform.

The Investment Readiness Program focuses exclusively on increasing the performance of founders in attracting investments and provides startups with the framework and the community of investors with whom they can improve their investment rounds and strategies. The program is implemented with the help of VC investment funds, the startup founders who have already raised investments, as well as of business partners in the legal and investment fields.

The curriculum is tailored to each startup, and, in addition to practical workshops, the participants will receive direct advice and individual mentoring sessions.

Startups can register by May 31 on Techcelerator.co.

Startups will receive direct advice from the Techcelerator team, regional & international VC investors, the regional online investment platform SeedBlink, and a portfolio of successful founders who have already raised several funding rounds.

The Investment Readiness program is supported in Romania and Southeast Europe by Google for Startups and Google Romania, from whom the finalists will receive mentoring, resources to accelerate startups as well as USD 200,000 in Google Cloud credits. 

Techcelerator is the SEED accelerator targeting high-tech startups in Romania and South-East Europe. With headquarters in Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca, it is the first accelerator in Romania to allocate funds for the development of high-tech companies in the acceleration and post-acceleration phase.
