Modern accelerators and foundations strive to accelerate the selection of startups for investments and mentoring programs. According to StartupBlink, the number of accelerators in Europe has grown by 25% over the past year, but many of them work manually: application selection, a series of pitch sessions, and opaque analytics. This creates bottlenecks and lengthens the decision-making time.

At InvestMatch, we offer not just a Telegram bot for founders and investors, but a tool that can be easily integrated into the processes of accelerators and venture funds. In this article, we will talk about connection methods, pilot project cases, and specific time and resource savings for program managers.

1. API integration and Webhook 

• A simple webhook approach is that when a startup submits an application to your system (for example, through Typeform), the platform sends a POST request to endpoint InvestMatch.– The bot automatically creates a project profile and starts matching with mentors and partners of the foundation.
• Two–way communication– Upon successful matching, the bot returns the result to your internal dashboard.- Managers see the report in CRM, and the founder receives a notification in Telegram.
• Technical implementation– Documentation is available in OpenAPI format.– Node is supported.js, Python, Java SDK.

2. White label and customization 

• Branding for your accelerator– Instead of the InvestMatch logo, the company's logo, colors and fonts are used.– Customization of bot messages ("Greetings from [Accelerator Name]!").
• The unique link is your personal domain: accelerator.investmatch.io/your-program .– Simplifies communication with participants.
• Setting up bonuses and gamification– You can set your referral bonuses for program participants.– A leaderboard between startups within your cohort.

Integrate InvestMatch into the processes of your accelerator or fund to automate the selection of startups, save weeks on manual work and improve the quality of transactions.
