The problem
By the time your sales team finds them, it's already too late.
The startups in our pilot cohort are post-revenue and growing fast. The vendors that engaged them early are now embedded in their stack. Everyone else is pitching against an incumbent.
You've probably tried the existing channels:
Conferences & events
One-off touchpoints. No follow-up funnel, no data.
Cold outreach
Reads as pushy, not helpful. Founders remember.
In-house program
Takes headcount and a year of lead time — and rarely attracts top founders to an unproven brand.
By Series A, the stack is set — and switching costs work against you.
The solution
Your startup program. Our operating lift.
Raisable designs, builds, and operates a fully white-labeled accelerator under your brand. You set the strategic goal — customer acquisition, deal flow, ecosystem visibility — and we run everything end to end.

per cohort — early-stage, post-revenue, hand-selected against your ideal

Exclusivity
One sponsor per vertical. Not five.
Most accelerator platforms sell the same startups to every sponsor in your category — all competing for the same deal flow, founder attention, and data. We work with one company per vertical, per cohort.
No competitor sees your shortlist. No founder fields pitches from your rivals in the same room. The curriculum, the selection rubric, and the funnel are built around your ICP — not a generic program shared across a dozen logos.
What your company gets
A customer acquisition engine, not a sponsorship.
Curated startup pipeline
700+ applications filtered to 20–40 startups matched to your ICP — you approve the shortlist.
Early customer acquisition
Startups onboard onto your product during the program, pre-Series A, while switching cost is zero.
Product feedback loop
The cohort beta-tests your launches; direct feedback from your exact target segment.
Brand credibility with founders & VCs
Founders post organically about the program throughout the cohort; your brand associated with founder support, not sales pressure.
Private office hours
Structured 1:1 warm introductions between your team and cohort founders.
Demo Day access
Exclusive sponsor presence in front of 50+ VCs — at the exact moment startups decide on key vendors.

FAQ
Common questions.
How long does it take to launch a cohort?
3–4 months to design, build, and market the program, including application review and cohort selection. The program itself runs 4–6 weeks.
How do you source and screen applicants?
Outbound sourcing through our founder network plus inbound applications, screened against your ICP criteria. You review the shortlist before any offers go out.
What ROI should we expect?
We build the program around a measurable funnel: applications → cohort → activated users of your product → revenue. You get reporting at each stage, and we define success metrics with you in the design phase — before you commit.
What does "equity-free" mean for the startups?
Startups pay nothing and give up no equity. They receive expert sessions, warm VC introductions, and partner credits. The program is funded by the sponsor.
What's our day-to-day involvement?
Minimal. We handle operations, programming, and founder communications. Your team shows up for private office hours, speaking slots, and Demo Day — structured touchpoints, not management.
Can this run alongside our existing startup program?
Yes. It's fully white-labeled under your brand and designed to complement, not replace, existing initiatives.
How do you ensure startups match our ICP?
ICP criteria are defined in the design phase. The application and screening rubric are built around them, and you approve the shortlist before offers are extended.
Why equity-free?
It's not just founder-friendly — it's better for you. Equity-taking programs create adverse selection: founders with traction won't accept dilution, so you get the ones who have no other option. Credit-only programs attract everyone and filter no one.
Equity-free and sponsor-funded means: higher-quality founders (serial entrepreneurs with revenue), better brand perception (you're adding value first, which opens real commercial conversations), and aligned incentives (we help startups raise, so they grow into bigger customers of yours).
