NUMA Moscow, an internationally-oriented startup accelerator in Moscow, will launch its second acceleration program in July. Startups are invited to apply until June 19.
The four-month program targets globally-oriented early-stage startups with a strong team and a working prototype or MVP.
Each submitted project will be evaluated by a board of at least three experts. These experts will come up with a short-list of the best startups to participate in one-on-one interviews as part of semi-finals and finals.
More than 300 local and international mentors will share their expertise and help startups develop their strategy, roadmap, as well as business and financial models.
The program seeks to help startups structure their operations in order to attract investment.
Focused on business growth and scaling, the agenda will include a number of workshops on growth marketing, sales methodology, international development strategy, as well as recruitment and funding.
Finally, startups will have the opportunity to spend the final part of the program in Paris, where they will benefit from qualified introductions to the representatives of international corporations, leading European venture funds and business angels.
Among NUMA’s corporate partners are such companies as Google, Cisco, Leroy Merlin and BNP Paribas.
NUMA Moscow will receive a 10% stake in all participating startups in an exchange for participation in the acceleration program.
Startups will receive 700,000 rubles (approximately $10,500 at the current exchange rate) by way of a convertible note.
Once selected to participate in NUMA’s acceleration program, startups will enjoy a permanent access to all startup-related educational resources and events at any NUMA’s office around the globe even after the program ends.
A leading Paris-based tech innovation hub, NUMA is expanding globally with plans to develop activities in no fewer than 15 countries by 2019. Accelerators in Moscow, Bengalore, Casablanca, Barcelona and Mexico have already been launched, in addition to activities in Silicon Valley.
