What’s the #1 reason startups fail? One simple word: money 💰 Around 38% of startups run out of cash and fail to secure the necessary funding to continue. This is especially challenging in the pre-seed and seed stages when you're still finding product-market fit and gaining initial traction. When early-stage founders ask me about funding options, I always recommend accelerators. A standout opportunity is the StartUp Hub Poland Booster, a program designed to accelerate your startup’s growth, connect you with investors and business partners, and provide mentorship from experienced experts 🎯 🆓 Why join? You can access non-repayable grants of up to 400,000 PLN to test technologies, expand your business in Poland, or scale globally. The program also offers expert guidance, networking opportunities, and market visibility, plus the chance to collaborate with leading industry specialists to ensure your success. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow your startup and secure funding! Apply till September 8: https://polandbooster.pl

Securing capital and funding is critical for the growth of early-stage startups and new ventures. As such, younger companies must be fluent and capable of effectively communicating their value propositions and marketing their ideas to prospective clients and investors in their target market. At Altitude Accelerator, we offer our flagship Market Readiness Program, a rigorous 12-week program designed for early-stage tech startups to scale and grow. The program emphasizes creating effective marketing and sales strategies to support startups in effectively communicating their value proposition to investors and their target markets. The program consists of weekly sales and marketing training sessions with industry-leading experts, mentorship from our experienced entrepreneurs-in-residence and networking opportunities with investors, venture capitalists and potential customers. At Collision Conf, the Altitude Accelerator team had the opportunity to reconnect and speak with some partner companies and startups that have completed the Market Readiness program. We had the pleasure of hearing how Mark Elliott from Venture Accelerator Partners Inc., Kevin M. Smith of The Story Architect, Aaron Guan from Neptune Nanotechnologies Inc. and Moatassem Moatez from MYCOURIER INC. were able to leverage the resources and knowledge gained from Altitude Accelerator’s Market Readiness program to scale their companies.
