V1 Ventures

Only 0.02% of American companies succeed with Venture Capital. Why then, are entrepreneurs told that VC is the path to success? Revenue is vital to businesses, yet startups tend to focus on obtaining angel or VC funding to get to the market. In reality, the inverse is a far more effective model. Get to market and prove your revenues and the angel or VC funding, if still wanted, will be much easier. V1 Ventures is a new kind of startup accelerator. We focus on helping early-stage companies get to market and establish revenue as an alternative or in addition to getting traditional angel or VC funding. With revenue, many early-stage issues are resolved and the startup is set on a path to use real data to build predictions for their products and overall success.
