EBRD offers:

• Access to mentors. EBRD cooperates with international mentors who have experience founding and selling successful start-ups (Notejoy, Scribd), working on the side of investors (Jansen Horowitz, Shark Tank), and accelerating a large number of start-ups (Y-Combinator, Google Launchpad). Mentors will help identify and overcome growth barriers for selected projects.
• Access to investors. EBRD knows investors (including institutional investors and business angels) interested in new markets and new projects, and links them with start-ups.
• Access to markets. EBRD operates in 38 countries. The network of partner organisations developed over the past 5 years (accelerators, funds, development institutions) allows to provide soft-landing to companies interested in working in such regions as North Africa, countries of Southern and Eastern Europe, Turkey.

If your company has an innovative idea and a long-term vision, if you want to enter the global market in the future, then Star Venture will guide you on the way to achieve your goals! Since 2018, the Program has already supported over 450 start-ups in 15 countries. Over the last three years, more than 80 start-ups raised more than $300 million in investments.
