What is a “Supercharger”

A supercharger, as defined by NeonVest, is someone who helps move the business forward for founders in the following ways:

Treats the conversation like a friendly coffee chat by talking about the founder’s business, openly and transparently, and seeing how they can genuinely help
Provides feedback and input on a variety of topics including the topics of expertise that he/she already indicated (i.e. fundraising, strategy, pitch, go-to-market, hiring, etc.)
Makes referrals and introductions (at own discretion of course; no obligation) to other investors, portfolio companies, potential hires, partners, etc.
May provide funding based on interest, though there is no guarantee or promise. Remember, they are not looking to be pitched directly. With that said, we do have plenty of success stories. The best way to get funding is by building a relationship. We agree with the often quoted “When you ask for advice, you get funding. When you ask for funding, you get advice.”
