Early stage consulting
InitialFactor provides support when an idea is conceived. We help the founders to evaluate the idea, create the right environment to nurture the idea and setup processes to make it work. In this initial phase it is crucial to complement the skills of the founding team to be able to answer the following questions:
(1) What is the problem you are trying to solve?
(2) How do you solve this problem?
(3) How do you monetize on your product or service?
(4) Why is it unique and how can it differentiate from competitors?
(5) How will you sell your product?
(6) Who are your competitors?
(7) What financial investment is needed?
(8) What is your plan to accomplish your goals? Milestones?
(9) How is your progress developing?
In addition to support in answering these questions we help to setup your company, arrange the first funds through our partners and state grants. We also help with talent recruiting and prepare you for the next steps.
Early stage financing
We also commit ourselves financially to companies we believe in. Early stage financing is a crucial part of nurturing your idea and taking it off the ground. It also involves finding the right means of funding. This can range from state grants and subsidies, business angel investments to venture capital. InitialFactor provides all necessary services for state of the art financing and has a broad range of experience in dealing with all kinds of investors. For more information visit: speedinvest.com
