We are proud to announce that six hand-picked startups begin a half year long journey in a new Wise Guys online program. Aim of this new initiative is to accelerate pre-series A startups and nurture the hidden treasures of the New Europe region. Wise Guys Growth is an invitation-only program developed for scale-ups, to support their growth and international expansion across Europe and the US.
This batch has not only teams that have gone through our early stage acceleration programs in the past, but also new startups joining our portfolio and family. Each startup is receiving a 150k EUR investment and our own #SWG teams will face a 250k EUR follow-on opportunity.
