MVP Academy startups will receive USD 2 million in perks for startups accepted in MVP Academy accelerator. The program adds new vouchers for the teams that are now part of the 4th edition of the accelerator.

Besides free access to various tools for hosting, e-mailing services and marketing, announced at the beginning of the program, each startup will get free access to BizSpark. This package includes free Azure cloud credits, free software, services and technical support that will help the teams to accelerate the development of their products.

Developed in partnership with CyberGhost VPN, with the support of Bitdefender, Microsoft, Raiffeisen Bank and Pfizer, the MVP Academy acceleration program is free and targets tech startups that are working on products aimed at global markets.

As part of the MVP Academy accelerator 2017, all the companies and founders have access to various perks valued at over $2 million. Most of these are tools and services that cover startups’ needs to develop their products faster.

Besides free access to various tools for hosting, e-mailing services and marketing, announced at the beginning of the program, each startup will get free access to BizSpark, a package that includes free Azure cloud credits, free software, services and technical support. All these perks are designed for the startups that entered the program in 2017 and that need business and technical support to accelerate their companies’ growth.

“The online services provided by MVP Academy program are really supporting the business we develop. Having an industrial SaaS in our portfolio, we do need marketing tools for Box2M’s customer services delivery. When you design industrial IOT devices, you also need the engineering and process integration with 3PP IOT management platforms. Usually, you pay a lot for these tools, and an early-stage startup doesn’t always have the budget. It’s helpful for our business to be able to access those for free.”, said Alexandru Gliga, the founder of Box2M.

MVP Academy accelerator program is halfway through. Its purpose is to help the teams to validate their business strategy through workshops and weekly mentoring sessions with local and regional experts in the industry. From now on, the participants will work on their final pitches they will deliver in front of +500 tech professionals, mentors, entrepreneurs, investors and potential business partners that will join the final event of the program: MVP Academy Demo Day, happening on 8th of May, at Cinema Pro.
