Assisting entrepreneurs in their fundraisings looking for private investors like VC funds, business angels or family offices is nowadays made in a context of profound renewal of the methods and approaches of accompanying entrepreneurial support. The overall objective of the FUNDCELERATOR project is to create a harmonized methodology for private fundraising support toward innovative and high-growth potential SMEs operating in markets characterized by long time-to-market paths. This fund raising support methodology is made of only efficient practices to be disseminated into other innovation support organizations. This will help the organizations at implementing new designed programs, providing them recommendations, feedback and performance results.
Thanks to the funding of the EU, as part of “Peer learning of innovation agencies of Horizon 2020 program”, FUNDCELERATOR project has been achieved by the regional innovation support agency from Aquitaine (ADI, France), the Baden-Württemberg regional innovation and business support organization (BWCON, Germany), the Dublin Business & Innovation Centre (DUBLIN BIC, Ireland) and the regional business and innovation incubator from Murcia (CEEIM, Spain). The agencies experimented different methodologies and evaluated their performances and impacts on SMEs.
