B2B Enterprise Startup Accelerator

Støtter

Alchemist guides technical founders on the journey from possibility to traction, offering expert coaching, a global network, and a direct bridge into Silicon Valley’s venture ecosystem. Join a community built for founders who feel called to build something extraordinary. Alchemist exists for founders who sense a deeper pull—the founders driven not just by opportunity, but by conviction. We transform technical builders into CEOs ready to scale by providing a six-month journey of intensive coaching, investor access, and commercialization support. Our work is rooted in a simple belief: when the right founder follows the right calling, world-shaping companies emerge. We accelerate those founders—not by dictating their path, but by equipping them to walk it with clarity, discipline, and courage. A global innovation network, rooted in Silicon Valley. We connect the world’s most driven technical founders to Silicon Valley’s capital, expertise, and momentum—so they can build companies worthy of their ambition, no matter where they begin. What type of company qualifies for Alchemist? Alchemist is a B2B enterprise accelerator. We look for companies that sell to other businesses, not to consumers. We also look for companies that are building deep tech, which means they have a significant technological advantage or innovation. We are industry agnostic, but we do not accept companies that are primarily focused on consumer products or services. Do you accept solo founders? Yes, we do accept solo founders. However, we strongly recommend having a co-founder, as it significantly increases your chances of success and is often preferred by investors.
