A Field Guide for Startups Raising Venture Capital in 2023
All of startups' questions answered about how to raise venture capital in 2023, considering what VCs want, market dynamics, and success factors.
In 2014, the world was experiencing an economic resurgence, prompting cautious optimism. Innovation was picking up steam, with groundbreaking technologies like wearable technology, cloud computing, AI/ML, and IoT gaining hold.
And in Miami, a new event called eMerge was launched to foster innovation and shape the future of technology. Now celebrating its tenth year, the conference is a global gathering that celebrates, empowers, and equips technology entrepreneurs. And as we have in the past, BIP Ventures will be there as a named sponsor. We're honored to return in 2024 to mark this important milestone alongside the eMerge team, Florida Funders, and Medina Ventures.
If you're a founder who is looking at 2024 as the year when scale, traction, and growth really begin to speed up, eMerge must be on your radar. Through the 2024 eMerge Americas Accelerator + Showcase, selected startups will have the opportunity to win a $520,000 USD investment to grow their company.
Applications are open through January 31st to be selected as one of the 110 best startups in the world. Selected startups will participate in a seven-week (virtual) acceleration program that culminates with the eMerge Americas grand finale pitch competition happening between April 17th and 19th. Besides the chance at an investment prize, selected startups also get two tech passes and prime exhibit space in “StartUp Alley” to showcase their company.
The combined value of this mentoring, attendance, and exhibit space is $3,800, but the real worth of the experience is much more. eMerge Americas is the premier global technology conference. It's a must-attend event for major enterprises, global media outlets, influential judges, and leading venture capitalists.
For the third consecutive year, the team at BIP Ventures is proud to be part of eMerge Americas. For 2024, we are joining forces with Florida Funders and Medina Ventures to support the Startup Accelerator + Showcase grand finale event and contribute to the $520,000 USD investment prize.
