Leveraging the scale strengths of corporates and our deep experience building ventures, we create new, high growth companies. Each new company draws on an unfair advantage from the corporate, so it can outperform startups in the wild. This lets our corporate partners de-risk the process of building strategically aligned businesses, without losing long term ownership. We act as professional venture builders and investors, co-investing with corporates to syndicate the investment and sharing in the risk and reward. Were not consultants or a development agency, so we never charge fees but act as true partners.

At Startupbootcamp, we supercharge startup growth – providing capital, world-class mentorship, and direct access to investors, corporate partners, and industry experts. 🚀 1,700+ startups backed: $2B+ raised, 75% still scaling 🌍 30+ innovation ecosystems under management 100+ events per year | 150+ accelerators in 15+ countries Our mission: Accelerate 100,000 impact-driven startups in the next decade – shaping the future and driving real change toward the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
