Rachel Mannino
Founder & CEO
CharityScribe
Cohort X.1

The team at SuperCharger Ventures didn't just mentor me as a Founder—they helped make CharityScribe possible as a business. They completely transformed our pitch narrative and deck, got us truly investor-ready, helped us secure our first investor and apply for non-dilutive funding. Beyond the invaluable training and resources, they plugged us into an incredibly supportive community of fellow Founders. SuperCharger Ventures has been a critical partner in helping us build the future-of-work platform for the nonprofit sector, and we are tremendously grateful for the support they’ve poured into us.

Wiem Ben-Mahmoud
Founder & CEO
Kidzrise
Cohort X.2

What I really appreciated is that some of the SuperCharger Ventures team were entrepreneurs themselves, which made their guidance practical and grounded in real startup challenges.The program also provided access to experienced mentors and a supportive founder community.

FAQ

01
Who is eligible to apply for this programme?

It is designed for early-stage startups that are preparing to raise capital in the next 6 to 12 months in the sectors of EdTech, Future of Work, FinTech, RegTech and AI. This program ideally supports pre-seed or seed teams with a strong product foundation who are new to the fundraising ecosystem, though it can also accommodate later-stage startups looking to structure their investor pipeline across sectors like AI, FinTech, and EdTech.

02
What is the application timeline and process?

This program runs two batches per year, with application windows opening between November and December for the winter batch and May to June for the summer batch. The selection process follows a standardized five-step path that begins with a Typeform submission, followed by internal scoring from the investment team, an interview round, a final review by the selection committee, and a formal onboarding proposal.

03
What are the terms for participation?

We operate on a service-for-equity model that requires no upfront cash fees from the startup. The terms consist of 3% upfront equity upon joining the program, plus a 2% success-based equity component that is only triggered if the company successfully raises over 50k euros through the SCV network in the following 6 months after the program, while we retain a standard future co-investment right.

04
What is the format, time commitment, and structure?

This is an 8 week, fully remote program engineered to fit into your ongoing operational workflows without requiring relocation. The curriculum focuses entirely on investor readiness and features weekly feedback sessions, pitch optimization, and investment readiness stress-testing, culminating in a global Online Demo Day.

05
What happens after the program ends?

Graduation integrates you into our global alumni network of over 200 high-growth companies. You unlock permanent benefits including priority fast-track access to any other program without re-applying from scratch, as well as lifetime access to our global partner network, corporate matchmaking events, and ongoing invitations to pitch at future Demo Days.
