FasterCapital is an online incubator that helps startups worldwide -especially non-technical ones- establish their business. It is founded in 2010 and has its headquarters in Dubai. The company helps entrepreneurs through three main programs:
- Raise capital: It matches the startup (at different stages) with potential angel investors, venture capital, loans, and crowdfunding.
- Technical cofounder: FasterCapital becomes the technical cofounder and invests 50% of the money needed in technical development, and does the whole technical development.
- Grow your startup: FasterCapital becomes a business partner and co-founder by investing 50% of the money while providing business development per equity.
iED and FasterCapital will work in a complementary way. They will aim to work together on strengthening each other’s network and connecting each other with people who might be interested in their models respectively.
