UBIZ.io – the accelerator to increase your turnover
A new international business development accelerator for tech startup opens its doors in Brussels - fully dedicated to business development. This human-sized accelerator is designed for tech start-ups looking to conquer new international markets.
Tanguy Vanderlinden, CEO of Ubiz.io, explains: "There are more and more competitive acceleration offers here in Europe, but we believe there are still too few players focused on cross-European borders markets. We target all European and African ecosystems. Ubiz wants to become a leading European player in the business development acceleration of start-ups. We only focus on the evolution of a single metric: the turnover."
In exchange for a minimal stake (less than 5%) in the startup, Ubiz:
- focus on sustainable revenue generation strategies and reference customers. This is made possible through the support of its mentors and privileged connections with many European and African corporate clients
- provides its expertise on the missing skills for the startup to quickly achieve its revenue objectives,
- supports - structurally and financially - this transition from tech startup to business scaleup. The sought amounts depending on the company's needs, this is the reason why the accelerator does not offer a standard amount of cash upfront. Ubiz offers as well - optionnally - fundraising services (in the 0.5 - 2 million€ range)
Ubiz provides "high level" resources - directly in Brussels (before its planned openings in European capitals):
- dedicated mentoring of experienced captains of industry (French, American and Belgian), with strong experience on growth, taking into account the specificities of each continent.
- a network of international decision-makers/buyers in neighbouring markets (more than 220 million consumers around Brussels within a 6 hours driving range) and the possibility of strategic corporate partners (C-level).
- an independent partner for all aspects of financial support for growth - without exclusivity - regardless of the company's profile and ambitions, whether in terms of fundraising, corporate agreements or external acquisitions.
In order to offer the most appropriate support, Ubiz focuses its energy on specific sectors. In this context, themes will be around Silver Economy /Agetech and more over sustainable development. Faced with an ageing population and the emergence of European start-ups that meet the specific needs of the elderly, Ubiz aims to select the future leaders in this segment and boost them.
"We want to specialize in niche themes and support the growth of the most innovative and serious start-ups in this field. We also want them to offer a product that has a positive social and societal impact," concludes Stéphane Drai - VP Strategy at Ubiz.
