Acceleration
Entrepreneurs founding startups or operating development stage companies, often need assistance either launching an idea, getting over the ‘Valley of Death’, or scaling their operating business. We assist our client-companies using tried-and-true acceleration methods designed to further a company’s growth at nearly any stage.
As a hybrid accelerator, we immediately focus on a ‘fast-track’, 3-month Accelerate Program, intended to position a client-company to secure as much as $1M to $5M –Level 1.
At later points in the development process, we focus on a Business Growth Program geared toward securing an additional $5M to $50M raise, within 12 to 18 months. –Level 2.
Where needed, DigitalAMN also provides various financial services to fund an entrepreneur’s shorter-term success.
3-Month Accelerate Program
During the accelerate program we assist our client-companies in achieving two important benchmarks crucial to a fast and effective initial raise – validating an investable market and formally establishing a profitable business model.
The program is intended to secure between $1M to $5M for our client-companies.
In validating an investable market, our Accelerate Program gives our client-company the ability to:
- Develop strong industry contacts and prove market viability
- Discuss their contributions to relevant industry transformation
- Foster customer feedback
- Prove knowledge base of product/service logistics
- Prove the size of the total addressable market (Typically $1B+)
- Provide projected revenues and a roadmap to achieving goals
In establishing a profitable business model, our Accelerate Program gives a client-company the ability to:
- Project a clear strategy and understanding of their sales
- Evidence and articulate the solutions provided to customers
- Have a product that is almost ready for small scale commercial distribution
- Boast ongoing discussions with possible sales, marketing, and distribution partners
- Demonstrate scalability and positive future economics
- Show potential investment or acquisition interest from larger firms
Business Growth Program
When a company has, or is ready to move beyond early adopters, we initiate the 2nd stage of acceleration.
While Level 2 acceleration is much more involved, as a hybrid accelerator, we continue to utilize modified acceleration methods to ‘fast-track’ the progression of our client-companies, with a focus on raising as much as $50M, within a 12 to 18 month period.
Scale
If a client-company is transitioning from Level 1 to Level 2, a DigitalAMN Business Management Consulting specialist will assist the client-company with moving beyond early adopters, ensuring there is a product/market fit and the ability to successfully scale the business.
Raise Capital
If a client-company is at a Tier 2 level when initially accepted into our ecosystem, we will launch a 6-month program intended to secure up to $5M. This raise will occur concurrently to a DigitalAMN Business Management Consulting specialist working with the client-company to prepare for a larger capital formation. Preparation includes:
- Assisting the client-company to move beyond early adopters;
