A proven method to find seed investment, as can attest the ALUMNI
Some seek funds (up to a million), others are looking for clients or mentors. The method has already been proven, as can attest Jean-François Chianetta , CEO of Augment (season 3) . It was during the Demo Day Paris that he caught the eye of an investor, which allowed him to raise 220,000 euros from several business angels in April 2013.
Start-ups track-record after 3 months acceleration
The results are already positive. Some have expanded their team, such as Localeyes. Agriconomie are already planning to launch in three other European countries. Qleek is about to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Krack will soon settle on the US West Coast to continue to further develop its tool for skateboarders, after a 2 weeks acceleration at Seedcamp in London.
Several start-ups already have wholesale clients for Realytics with Danone, or Localeyes application with Microsoft, Ferrero , Bic and Studio Canal, and some have even been able to sign their first B to B contracts among the Le Camping partners.
