“Newchip stands for excellence and prepares startups for the new tech-based world. The people and culture make you feel valued and educated. This program provides you with more than education, but also with purpose and meaning. They have advisors available all week and they provide you with valuable toolsets and resources that we have NEVER been provided with. We have spent over $30K of faulty advisors who were nice and professional, but they promised something that they COULD NOT OFFER, they took our money, and promised us ROI. Every meeting was NOT personable and had NO substance, we felt at a loss until we found this program.
We are truly grateful for Newchip and all they have to offer. Their accelerator program offers a way to manifest a return on the money that startups invest into this program. If you put in the hard work, you will find a promising ROI. Sharing knowledge and providing means of empowerment is important. While there is a unique cost model to take this program, their fee is LOW and WORTH it, they wouldn't be able to operate and run their program. Also, for investors it allows them to become involved in the board of a startup very early on, with a view to making later rounds of investment.
We HIGHLY recommend Newchip to any serious entrepreneur who has passion and drive to SUCCEED.”
“Newchip Accelerator is one of the true "accelerators" for early stage companies. With their well-rounded curriculum, enthusiastic and supportive team, extensive active mentor network, and connections to investors, founders looking for help in launching a great concept with high upside potential can accelerate their path with Newchip. IN addition, it's great experience connecting with other entrepreneurs/founders, including (especially) those with experience launching multiple companies. Some of the best advice comes from your fellow cohort participants.”
“I very much like the NewChip accelerator experience. They guide you and support you with every questions that you may have about fundraising. Their team is dedicated and passionate. What stops me from a 5 star however is the fact that it still feels fresh, as if they're building the plane all around you while you fly on the journey. As an entrepreneur it's exciting though, and feels like we're all are working together towards a common objective. Great team. Great concept. Good execution that is improving by the day.”
“For starters of an early stage company with a great idea and potential but needing business. know-how and access to investor networks, Newchip is one of the few true accelerators for early stage companies. Being part of the Newchip community means access to wisdom from other successful serial startup entrepreneurs, whose value can't be overstated, in addition to their great team and networks of mentors and investors.”
“NewChip has been a great experience and has helped a ton with investor connections. They have quality mentors, advisors, and investors. Highly recommend it!”
“As a founder, there are so many moving pieces you need to manage masterfully. Boasting decades in the startup space, along with over a dozen successful exits, Newchip's leadership team has created a comprehensive & indelible program for newfound + seasoned founders, alike. I highly recommend the Newchip experience to any founder looking to roll their sleeves up, grind, and grow.”
“I was leery at first, but this has been a great experience. The virtual self paced content is great. But the real value here has been the support staff, mentoring, and mastermind groups. Very happy with my choice to invest and participate in Newchip!”
“I'm glad that Newchip exists. What a great team of energetic, thoughtful leaders Ryan and Nihar have assembled around them! Without their guidance we'd be nowhere near where we are now and are looking forward to closing with our lead investor in our Series Seed round, introduced to us via the Newchip network. If a small start-up in Oregon can plug into the knowledge and depth of connection that Newchip provides, anyone can! Join. And get ready for some hard, rewarding work.”
“One month in and still challenged daily with thought-provoking webinars, reviews and growth concepts. I also enjoy the mastermid session tools for contributing to those who aren't quite as far down this path as we are.”
“I founded 2 companies and had a successful exit with one, so I was a bit skeptical about joining an accelerator program, but they convinced me they’d bring value with some pretty lofty claims of the successes they’ve had for other companies fundraising. The price wasn’t bad so I decided to give it a shot. Very impressed, actually. Tapping into their network probably cut several months off of my Seed round.
Didn’t do all of the curriculum, since this isn’t my first rodeo, but still actually learned a good deal from the curriculum I did do. Honestly, with the level of service they offer to their companies, my biggest feedback to them is raise your prices.”
“As a life long entrepreneur (who even did a deal on Shark Tank) It was tough for me to decide if I should join in the Newchip accelerator. So far, between the lessons I am learning, the community support and the collective knowledge contained inside, this honestly one of the best decisions of my entrepreneurial career. I honestly wish joined Newchip BEFORE I went on Shark Tank and I am only 1/3 of the way through.”
“Overall, my experience with Newchip is very positive. First of all, the Newchip team is dedicated and very passionate about our success. The content is very relevant to what we should be learning and they kept feeding us with weekly live content.
One of the biggest thing for me is the Connect program Newchip offers. This has enabled me to expand my network and helped me find the people who provided me with so much information I could use to navigate the company.
The only thing I wish could have been a bit better is the onboarding process. I was a bit lost in the beginning on how I could navigate through the course work. Also, the platform website is a bit slow from time to time but I realized Newchip was making improvements. However, I was able to navigate through this just fine.
I'd recommend Newchip to any company in an early stage. You will definitely walk away with lots of values and save you a lot of time trying to figure things out on your own.”
