Value add | We are not 'founder friendly' merely on paper but also in action. Turbostart's vision is to be an innovative startup ecosystem enabler globally that combines the functionalities of an incubator, accelerator, venture studio, and early-stage fund to provide comprehensive support to startups. Unlike traditional models that often follow a "one size fits all" approach, we offers customized assistance tailored to the specific needs and stages of startups. This unique positioning helps address the critical early-stage challenges that many startups face, often referred to as the 'valley of death'. Turbostart leverages a robust network to provide unparalleled support to startups. This network includes industry experts, seasoned mentors, strategic partners, and a diverse pool of investors and ensure that founders have access to the knowledge, guidance, and capital needed to scale their ventures effectively. |
