What makes Springboard different?

Springboard is about building relationships, not just about raising capital. Our Venture Forums are four-month relationship building and business assessment accelerators that emphasize the right connections between the entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts and service providers in our network.
Our rigorous review process is highly selective. All applicants are screened in a multi-step review process by a committee of leading angel, venture and corporate investors to qualify the most promising investment opportunities across the country.
We surround you with the right experts and investors with the expertise you need. We learn exactly what each company needs and treat the matchmaking process of pairing each company with a coaching team as a science.
You're joining an expert network, a source of ongoing connections. We don’t stop working when the program ends. We continue to be an advocate of our companies and provide support to our alumnae as new members and contributors to the Springboard Alumnae community.
