“For Newchip to actually see our start-up and invite us, it was more of a no-brainer.
We were able to pitch to a global investor community, and it gave us a lot of connections that we never would’ve been able to make in Puerto Rico.”
“Newchip taught me how to be patient in many aspects. You know, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Linguado wasn’t built in a day.
I understood that by listening to other founders, listening in my mastermind sessions, and listening to what the investors had to say.
It’s hard to build a company, and there’s days you don’t want to get out of bed. So, just knowing that other people may be in a similar position is comforting.
Accelerators give your company a little more credibility in general, and having the resources that Newchip has was incredibly valuable.”
“The most valuable thing about the program is really the mentoring, and getting some real business founders who have found investment opportunities in other companies—and getting their perspective.”
“I think one of the most valuable things we found on Newchip was the accuracy regarding different processes. They always had something that we could go back and reference before we made a decision. They stay up-to-date on what the industry is facing. It’s super helpful.”
“In the larger scheme of things, Newchip is a wise investment because it will save you time that you'd otherwise be using to hunt down investors.
Instead, you’ll be able to spend that time building your product and showing the world what it’s all about. There are many innovations accessible through Newchip that a company can use at their own speed.
What's more, businesses can meet investors across the nation, rather than in a select area.”
“Newchip does a really great job at staying current with trends and activities. They have great access to investors and funds that really becomes a force-multiplier to your fundraising efforts.”
“The fact that Newchip was an online accelerator really resonated with us because we wanted to be surrounded by companies that weren’t just in the same geographic location that we were.”
“Having the flexibility as to how we consumed the curriculum—and who we worked with and when—was really, really helpful to allow us to meet the demands and the natural rhythm of our business, and weave Newchip into it.”
“The Newchip Accelarator program was very worthwhile. They provided vary valuable coaching that enabled us to tell our story well. They, also, provided a large number of investor introductions. We successfully raised our round and it was oversubscribed.”
“Newchip was very helpful in our journey as entrepreneurs. We really appreciated their use of digital outreach and the ability to open up this channel to find potential investors.”
“It is difficult to pinpoint just one area of value that Newchip has added to our company. From the perfectly tailored materials in the curriculum to the mentor feedback and fundraising strategy sessions, it is really the culmination of all these different aspects that make it such an indispensable program.”
“Raising funds as we initiated a major product pivot as an incredible challenge – we had grown beyond the Seed stage but our new product did not have the traction for a Series A. Through Newchip, we were able to find specific investors to help us through our bridge round while also making great connections that will aid in future rounds.”
“There is nothing more valuable than establishing a great relationship with the Newchip investor relations team. They’re on your side. If you can understand and relay the value proposition and give them the ammunition they need, then the value they bring is unrivaled.”
“As a Singapore-based founder, having access to Newchip’s global investor pool was incredible, especially when I was unable to travel. The investor relations team worked directly for us to find an international field of investors that matched our criteria (and us, theirs) perfectly.”
