The Complete 8-Week Cohort Program
Validation
Building the Business Model
Validating your idea is the starting point of this journey. It will establish if there is a market for your product or service and define who your customers are. Once the need is identified, we will look at your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and start interacting with customers to design and solidify your business strategies.
You’ll get the support you need to build the ideal business model and understand how to make your startup become financially sustainable.
Growth
Structuring, Branding & Marketing
Now that you are clear on your market and business model, it is time to give life to your business by legally structuring the company based on the most tax efficient jurisdiction, building your brand identity, and understanding how to communicate with your target audience in a way that makes you stand out in your industry.
We will cover all strategies to keep you on top of these topics.
Funding
Prepare Your Pitch & Get Funded
Your next step will be to meet with potential investors. For this, you need an outstanding pitch deck that will capture attention and convince others of the validity of your idea and your plan. The primary goal of a pitch deck is to secure the resources and funding required to move the business forward.
We will support you during this process and can introduce you to our network of investors that could not only bring you funding but also invaluable insights and strategic support.

Testimonials
The acceleration program helped our team to prepare our financing round and the associated negotiations, and then later to bring them to a conclusion. It was also a great opportunity to discuss important decisions in growing our start-up and concretize the next steps. Thank you very much for that!
The cohort program helped me and my team focus on what is important in our business strategy. The mentors were a great help in that. We got a lot of great insights and inspiration from the program. Now we are much more confident in our growth process.
We can’t recommend Max Ventures enough! Thanks to their vast knowledge and experience we had invaluable support with all due diligence, such as crafting agreements that would have cost us a lot of time and money. They also supported us financially, investing 100K in our company, which had a significant impact on our scalability!
