Investment thesis

Iterative runs a Southeast Asia-focused accelerator program built around a 3-month cohort. Investment is made upfront at admission as a signal of commitment, with no program fee. The partners, all experienced founders, focus heavily on collaborating with founders to validate and sharpen ideas, decide where to focus, and prepare for fundraising. They help founders run a strong fundraising process, target and approach the right investors, understand and negotiate deal terms (especially given variability in Southeast Asia), and craft concise pitches workshopped with batchmates and friendly investors before Demo Day. Founders present to a select group of investors aiming to raise a larger round.
