HOW IT WORKS
As we invest at the earliest stage of a company's lifecycle, our program is designed to help startups validate and iterate on their original hypotheses, achieve product/market fit and get them venture capital-ready for next-round funding. To give you a better picture of what our Bootcamp looks like, here are some literal snapshots of what happens during the program.
Workshops
Office Hours
Dinner Talks
Events
LEAD MENTORS
Different from external Mentors from our network that are experts in different domains, whom we will match with startups after having sufficient understanding of each company's business and needs; our Lead Mentors are in-house and actual Partners of the firm. This means they have skin in the game as well as a holistic understanding of this space from investing and directly working with countless startups in various fields. Meet the Lead Mentors who you will see almost everyday:
After Bootcamp, VSV Capital continues to introduce startups to resources, customers, partners and investors. Before COVID-19 hits, we also regularly took our portfolio companies on roadshows to other cities and countries to open up more opportunities to meet with investors and join regional/international startup events. Most of the time, our job post-Bootcamp is to provide our expertise when you need help building financial projections, or strategically planning when negotiating major contracts or investment deals.
Our Bootcamp is 4-month, but our support is for life.
