What is a supercharger on NeonVest, and why are they so important?
If you’re a startup founder, you must be familiar with the somewhat satisfying but mostly grueling process of networking. While your goals of wanting to grow your network and moving your business journey upward are clear, the execution is a whole other ballgame. Be honest – how much luck have you had with sending cold emails, removing time from your schedule to attend business conferences, connecting with people on LinkedIn, and getting in touch with friends and family for introductions? Somewhere, these methods might hit a saturation point. Sometimes, they might get you a few leads, and other times they might refuse to work. The common factor here is that all the present networking methods with VCs and other investors are unpredictable and time-intensive. To rid you of these unnecessary roadblocks, neonVest has done the behind-the-scenes job of identifying and curating a universe of venture capitalists, angel investors, corporate VCs, founders, and operator-investors (collectively termed as “Superchargers”), who are experts in their respective fields. Take a dive into what neonVest’s superchargers do and how they can benefit your startup.
What is the role of a Supercharger?
A Supercharger on neonVest is someone who is an expert in their domain that can help move an early-stage business forward in multiple ways. Their role is non-exhaustive, adaptive, and flexible. It entails everything within their specific area of expertise – from having a strategic discussion on milestones to providing detailed feedback on your pitch deck. From making referrals to other investors and potential hires to providing funding to the startups that catch their interest. We vet every supercharger on the neonVest platform. They are selected based on their sector, expertise, and relevance in their industry.

How can our Superchargers propel your startup journey?
Think about how you feel when you talk to a friend or confident about your business plans, and when you speak to a potential investor. If the latter comes with a layer of pressure and anxiety, then neonVest has a long-term solution for your startup. neonVest’s speciality lies in the way it enables you to have a friendly chat with Superchargers by removing the element of pressure. Our Superchargers connect with you on a human-to-human basis and let the course of conversation flow, leading to a discussion about your ideas and business plans, as if they are on your side of the table, for the duration of the conversation. They maintain transparency throughout the conversation and give genuine feedback on various topics, in a positive, encouraging way. If they like what they see and hear, they will usually either fund your startup, make referrals, or introduce you to relevant investors at their will. At a minimum, they’ll give you high ratings on the neonVest platform, which leads to plenty more upside. neonVest onboards its Superchargers on its platform only after a thorough background and business assessment. Our Superchargers are highly equipped to guide you on every stage of your startup journey without the pre-decided notions, biases, or obligations that a typical conversation with a VC might entail – whether that is at seed stage, pre-seed and earlier, or series A, series B, and Series C+ funding. Carrying years of expertise and having established a legacy of their own in their field, they hail from many different sectors like healthcare, fintech, climate tech, AR/ VR, deep tech, alternative energy, food systems, blockchain, digital assets, enterprise Saas, marketplaces, proptech, supply chain and logistics, and cybersecurity, among others.
