About us

We are a non-profit on a mission to advance entrepreneurship by combining community and capital access.

We believe that startups thrive when supported by a strong, trusted network — founders, experts, and investors working together. That’s why we put our community at the center of our activities.

Startups gain the guidance and capital they need. Investors gain the skills and opportunities to back the next generation of ventures. Together, we create a healthier, stronger startup ecosystem.

Our model is simple: help startups get prepared, connect them with the right investors, and support them all the way through their fundraising journey.
