A new online platform will be developed to connect start-ups and investors, offering the following benefits:
For Start-Ups
Product Showcasing with two levels of access and visibility:
Level 1: Open and visible to all (no IP concerns)
Level 2: Access restricted to start-ups with a higher TRL; visible only to investors who have signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). These start-ups will also be eligible for funding.
Collaboration & Networking
- Launch a need along the value chain, allowing others to participate.
- A private discussion room to facilitate connecting with potential partners.
- Integration with existing platforms such as Living Lab event platform and Collaborative Initiatives for Research and lndustry.
Mentoring & Pitch lmprovement
- Tutorials on creating effective pitches.
- Personalized feedback and suggestions for improvement.
- Written feedback from investors to refine pitches.
For Investors
Exclusive Registration for investors, including venture capitalists and business angels (KPI: At least 10 investors need to register!).
lnvestor-Start-Up Meetings to facilitate direct engagement.
Access to a Pre-Selected, High-Quality Pool of Start-Ups based on a rigorous selection process.
The platform will be linked to the TIGER Services Platform. From Service #7, users will be directly connected to the Start-Up/lnvestor Platform for seamless access.
Novelties
Currently, services that connect start-ups and investors are primarily available at the regional level, leading to a fragmented landscape with limited cross-border collaboration. Establishing such a platform in the Alpine Space area is a novel approach, aiming to bridge this gap by fostering a more integrated and dynamic ecosystem. By overcoming fragmentation, the platform will enable start-ups to access a wider pool of investors while providing investors with a diverse selection of high potential ventures across the region.
