The Model

12 months of tailor-made,
hands-on support.

Not another typical accelerator: no fixed cohort, no demo day finish line, and support tailor-made to each company. We're there until your next milestone, whatever that looks like. Our structured approach combines the best from world-leading accelerators, global networks and real experience helping companies reach their next milestone.

Capital from New Altitude

Capital of €200–400k.

Selected companies receive investments of between €200,000 and €400,000 from New Altitude, designed to give founders meaningful runway and flexibility from day one. Recommended by Pronto Ventures, selected and invested in by New Altitude.

Indicative investment range for selected startups only. Subject to due diligence, New Altitude's final approval, available capital and signed investment agreements. Funding is not guaranteed.

Coaching

Dedicated coaching.

Experienced operators and investors from Pronto Ventures' network, embedded in your journey for the full 12 months. Not part-time advisors. Coaches who are accountable for your progress and reachable when it matters most.

Community

Community.

Direct introductions to corporates, universities, investors and ecosystem partners. Years of relationship building across Turin and Europe, now available to your company from day one.

New Altitude: Who We Back

Ambitious founders building
globally relevant companies.

Deep customer understanding. The drive to build something extraordinary. That's what we look for, at pre-seed and seed stage.

Pre-Seed

Launched, validated, accelerating.

You've shipped your first version and validated real demand, whether you're coming out of an accelerator or building on your own, and you're raising your pre-seed round.

Seed

Raising your seed round.

You're raising with other institutional investors and need additional capital and strategic support to reach your next milestone.

How We Help

Support where it
actually moves the needle.

Twelve months of work alongside you, shaped around the company and the milestone in front of it.

Product-market fit, faster

Sharper focus on customers, experiments and evidence, so you get to product-market fit sooner and with fewer detours.

Fundraising support

Story, materials and target list, warm introductions to the right investors, and the preparation to hold up in diligence.

Investor days

Days built around meeting investors who are actively looking at your stage, your sector and your geography.

Corporate days

Days with corporates in Torino and beyond: first conversations that can turn into pilots, partnerships and customers.

Mentoring and coaching

Mentors matched to what you need, and a coach who stays with you through the twelve months rather than a rotating cast.

Founder and operator network

Founders who have built before and operators who have done the job, reachable for the specific question you have this week.
