What makes FasterCapital a unique business development service provider?
In this program, we follow a hands-on approach. We don’t have a fixed package that is offered to all applicants. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Our team of sales and marketing consultants and experts will work on the project with your team in order to achieve your goals of business development. We also provide marketing and sales consultancy services that help startups in reaching new markets, increasing sales and revenues, and/or improving their marketing.
It’s also unique because FasterCapital will act as a cofounder and will invest half of the money needed in the form of equity. We will not only be an external consultant for the startup but also an active team offering their services on equity basis. The cost of this project plan will be covered partly by FasterCapital (per equity basis) and partly in cash (from income generated by the startup or raised by the startup) which is more budget-friendly for startups that are trying to achieve business development on budget.

What do you offer for startups in the Tech Cofounder Program?In this program, FasterCapital's team will handle technical development fully or partially. We are ready to become your technical cofounder and to be responsible for the whole development of the product from A to Z in case you have no technical team or looking for outsourced product development. We can also work with your team on specific technical modules. We are ready to invest 50% of the money needed in technical development. For example, if you are looking to raise $100k for your technical development then FasterCapital will invest 50% of that which is 50k and you only need to raise the other 50k. We will also help you get connected to investors/mentors who might be interested in supporting your startup.
-
What are the initial terms to be accepted?They are highlighted on the website before you do the submission. 1. You should be willing to allow FasterCapital to become the technical cofounder and develop the whole product from A to Z, or continue its development or partially help in the development. 2. To start the development process, the founder needs to secure 50% of the costs. FasterCapital invests 5o% and is willing to offer a letter of commitment to help the entrepreneur in reaching angel investors more easily. 3. The entrepreneur should be willing to provide equity to FasterCapital in exchange for the technical development services it will be providing. FasterCapital will also provide a lot of other free services throughout the program such as market study, feasibility study, market strategy, and other legal services for free!

The entrepreneur doesn’t need to relocate to UAE. We are an online incubator, accelerator, service provider and you can reside anywhere in the world and even keep your daily job until the product is built.
-
What kind of startups do you accept?We help startups in all industries as long as they have a technical component.
-
Will FasterCapital be the owner of the startup?No. We will not become the owner of the startup nor the technology (hardware/software) as the technology will be owned by the startup itself in which we have shares.
-
Who owns the source code and the IP (intellectual property) of the startup?The startup itself. FasterCapital has equity in the startup but the startup will own all source code and all IP from development. The source code can be later moved to another team if this is required.
-
What happens after getting the initial acceptance?There are two main scenarios: 1. Either you have already raised the other 50% of the seed fund needed and then we can proceed with the technical development process. 2. Or you don’t have the 50% of the money and you are looking to raise them from angel investors or VCs. In such cases, we provide you with a “Letter of Commitment” that guarantees the money for you over a period of time. This letter is a commitment that the money you want from FasterCapital will be reserved for your project over a period of time (normally less than 3 months). So, in case you were able to raise the money from an angel investor then you will know for sure that the money we promised is already committed to you. Such a letter will significantly increase your chances of raising capital from a funding source.
-
When will I receive the LoC “Letter of Commitment”?Once we gather all the information and agree on the amount of money that you want to raise, the amount of money needed for technical development, the equity given to FasterCapital, and discuss a little about how soon you think you can raise the other 50% from angel investors. Usually, once those are clear then your startup will be featured in front of the board and if you are accepted then you will receive a draft of the LoC that you need to fill and sign.
-
What happens If I get rejected?You can re-submit. Maybe the information that you sent is not enough or maybe you should think again about the amount of money to be raised and the equity you want to give to FasterCapital. It’s a good chance to read more about the program and to rethink the opportunity. We encourage you to re-submit if you think it makes sense after the review.
-
In the Letter of Commitment, you mention a period of 3 months as commitment, what happens if I could not raise the money needed during this period?"It depends on how advanced you are in the process itself and how much attraction you have got from investors. If there's progress then you can ask for an extension and we will study it and get back to you.
-
What resources does your business team provide?Our business team will restudy the whole business plan and come back with questions/challenges. This service is provided for free during the Tech Cofounder program and can amount to $150k. We provide some market and sales research, we can help through our network.

In case you are interested in more comprehensive business development services, check out our growth program; Grow your Startup.

-
Once the product is done, how do you manage upgrades and enhancements?"As long as we are the tech cofounder, then we will have to do all the upgrades and enhancements. We are always responsible for technical development and product improvement.
