We have learned many lessons from the latest success stories and use similar levers that work for you:

working with our entire ecosystem,

identify and release the MVP (minimum valuable product),

use agile methods to avoid silos and take small steps with fast feedback,

using technology to accelerate development while limiting investment.

All our teams have mastered the financing search processes and the very specific rules of this market. Every day, we put all of our skills and those of our network at the service of your goals.

Use our results-oriented methodology

For you, we have developed an approach structured in three main phases:

Business model (challenge of your vision, translation into strategy and organization, development of realistic scenarios).

Cases (translation of business model into business plan, construction of reference documentation).

Fundraising (preparation and training of managers, fund meetings, closing).

Ascensum proposes to support you, post-raising, in order to continue the strategic plan and the implementation of the business plan.
