“I had the great pleasure of working with Newchip Accelerator for my fundraising efforts. The Newchip Accelerator focused on fundraising from day one, and most of the one-on-one mentor sessions focused on fundraising techniques and how to prepare the company for fundraising. All the lessons, tools, and resources in the program, especially those for financial modeling, were great. The one-on-one reviews also helped me prepare the pitch deck that I now share with most of the investors - I have received excellent feedback from them! Newchip also helped me raise funds from its network of investors in a relatively short period of time through its Startup Expo demo week. Their Connect program has also helped me considerably and now I am connecting with potential investors, marketing and sales executives, and potential customers. Ever since I joined Newchip Connect, my calendar has filled up with investor calls. Thank you Newchip for being there and providing continued support to WatchRx.”

"I can't recommend Newchip's Accelerator program enough! When we started with them, our message around raising capital was not clear and we were getting in our own way! They helped us understand the ‘game’ of raising capital, especially for SaaS Fintech startups like us. I've taken tremendous resources from Newchip and their team and some of their investment connections, and they continue to help us well after the program ended. Plus, I had a great group of CEOs who were part of the Mastermind with whom I still stay in touch. We've also managed to kick off a successful equity crowdfunding raise on WeFunder - not an easy platform to get on - ONLY because Newchip recommended us!"

"Newchip was very helpful in getting my head focused on fundraising. They also gave me some great resources to dramatically improving my pitch deck, build my investor network, and made me feel like I finally have someone on my side that I can confide in and work with to successfully raise capital. Our efforts were also recently featured on the Wall Street Journal and 2020 is now shaping up to be our largest growth year yet. I think a lot of people that want to start a company or are very early stage simply don’t know where to begin. Newchip helps you better understand the startup world and gives you resources to improve the state of your business."

"Not only did the Newchip Accelerator program teach me things I'd never learn in the real world about how investors think and how to deal with them on an even playing field, but they pushed, prodded, and pulled us into being truly investment-ready. Big hats off to this team for seeing the massive void that exists between investors and great opportunities, and stepping in to fill that void. Their connections are already paying off big and we are well on our way to completing our $1M Seed round."

“Our mentor helped us find efficiency in explaining how we can articulate our business plan to investors. Our plan has several non-intuitive aspects or approaches that are difficult to explain as they run counter to common knowledge in the digital music space. Newchip helped us to cut through the confusion or time it takes to communicate new information and formulate our pitch succinctly.”

“Our Newchip mentor was one of the most amazing persons I've ever met in my life. Sometimes in startup life, you need 1% to hit 100% and here where our mentor is the best person. Their inputs about building our strategy and especially help in simplifying pitch and vision/statements are literally priceless. They were always 100% honest and delivered results. When you are working with them - back is covered no matter what. 110% recommend. Their expertise in VC and angel negotiations were a game changer. If you want to succeed - call them!”
