HOW IT WORKS

Together with our investor panel, we select promising mobile, internet, technical, or creative startups.  What they have in common is that they target their products at businesses, not consumers.  For example, they might be focused on improving a brand’s external communications; increasing consumer-engagement; or delivering customer analytics.  We call these “B2Brand” companies.  With the right access to global brands who act as mentors and promise at least one product trial, Collider12 is best placed to guide these emerging companies over the three month “Collision Phase” to achieve ultra-high growth.  By working with leading brands throughout their early product development, startups will achieve customer validation and product market fit in the fastest possible way.
