Your accelerator, with an AI senior investment analyst built in.
White-label the entire Astel platform under your own brand and logo, giving every startup in your portfolio a 24/7 AI senior investment analyst — and automate your workflow using AI, from investor readiness and targeting through to capital deployment.
“The access to high-quality deal flow was transformative — opportunities we simply didn't have visibility on before. Astel due diligence analysis proved invaluable for generating our IC memos efficiently, saving significant time and effort. The lead generation feature enabled us to identify and cultivate relationships with potential investors who have since become key partners. The platform feels like having a dedicated fundraising team working around the clock.”
Why accelerators run Astel under their own brand
Graduate More Funded Startups
Startups that fail to raise after demo day reflect on your programme. AI-powered fundraising automation lifts the whole cohort.
- Higher funding rates — More of your cohort closes rounds, and your programme's track record improves with every one.
- Lower portfolio churn — Founders who raise successfully survive — protecting the portfolio numbers you report to your own LPs.
- Save each startup $10k+ — Work founders would otherwise pay advisors for is built into your programme at no extra cost to them.
- Scale without hiring — Support a larger cohort with the same team, because the analysis and outreach run themselves.
An Unfair Advantage Over Other Accelerators
A proprietary AI senior investment analyst, offered as part of your programme — something competing accelerators simply cannot put in front of founders.
- Your competitors cannot offer this — No other accelerator can match a white-label AI senior investment analyst embedded in their programme.
- Attract top-tier founders — The best founders pick the programme that gives them every edge. This is the edge they can see on day one.
- Institutional-grade investor access — Your cohort reaches investors and intelligence normally reserved for firms with a full investment banking desk.
- Rapid due diligence no competitor can replicate — A 40-page assessment in under an hour, on every company — a capability rival programmes cannot buy off the shelf.
100% Brand Ownership
Everything runs as your own product. Founders see your accelerator, not ours — which is exactly how it should look.
- Your brand, your logo, your colours — The platform carries your identity throughout. To your cohort it is your product, built by your programme.
- Your own domain — Founders reach it at your URL, so nothing about the experience points anywhere but your accelerator.
- Raises the value you deliver — Offering a proprietary AI platform materially increases what founders get from joining you — and what you can charge for it.
- Every win builds your reputation — Each closed round, each success story and each founder testimonial accrues to your institutional equity, not a vendor's.
What every startup in your cohort gets
Run full due diligence on a technology company in an hour, not three days.
Every company you screen gets a comprehensive 40-page assessment, generated in under an hour. Use it to run your own due diligence on the technology companies you work with — judge whether they are genuinely investor-ready, surface their risks, and cover the diligence areas your team would otherwise work through by hand. The work that ties up an analyst for two to three days lands before your next meeting, and you give the founders direct, specific feedback the same day.
- Assess investor readiness before you commit
Know which companies in your pipeline can withstand investor scrutiny — and which need another quarter of work — before you put your accelerator's name behind them.
- Surface risk early
Financial, commercial, technical and governance risks are identified and evidenced, so nothing lands as a surprise in an investor's own diligence process.
- Reverse-engineered from what investors actually ask
The report is built backwards from the questions top investors raise, so you are assessing companies against the real bar rather than a generic checklist.
- Give portfolio founders feedback that same day
Hand each founder a specific, evidenced list of what to fix. Your cohort arrives at investor meetings prepared, and your programme visibly earns its place.
Two to three days of analyst time per company, and feedback to the founder days or weeks later.
A 40-page assessment in under an hour, and direct feedback to the founder the same day.
Intelligence from live investor conversations — not a database someone updates by hand.
Your accelerator and every portfolio company get access to intelligence drawn from live investor conversations with over 100 investor relations professionals who sit in real investor meetings every week. This is dynamic data, updated continuously from actual conversations. Most providers sell you a static database maintained manually by their team; what an investor told someone in a meeting last week is worth considerably more than a record last touched six months ago.
- Know what investors want right now
Live sentiment on mandates, ticket sizes and appetite, captured as it is spoken in real meetings — not inferred from a filing months after the fact.
- Dynamic, not manually maintained
The intelligence refreshes from ongoing conversations. You are not relying on a vendor's team to get around to updating a row.
- Not available on PitchBook or Crunchbase
This is proprietary conversational intelligence. It gives your accelerator an information advantage the standard databases cannot offer.
- Passed straight through to your cohort
Every portfolio company benefits from the same live read, so founders target investors who are genuinely active rather than merely listed.
A static database, updated manually by team members, describing what was true some time ago.
Dynamic intelligence from live investor conversations, updated as those conversations happen.
80,000+ institutional investors — and the warm paths your team already has into them.
Your accelerator and your portfolio companies get access to a global database of more than 80,000 institutional investors, across every major region. More valuable than the breadth is the mapping: Astel analyses your team's and your founders' existing relationships to identify where connections already exist, and which people can make a warm introduction.
- Global coverage, not one region
Institutional investors across every major market, so a portfolio company's target list is shaped by fit rather than by where your network happens to reach.
- Find the relationships you already have
Astel evaluates your team and your founders to reveal common relationships with target investors — connections nobody realised were there.
- Warm introductions over cold outreach
Identify precisely who can introduce a company to a given investor, and approach through a trusted path instead of a cold email.
- Target by thesis, stage and check size
Filter by geography, investment thesis, check size and stage, so every founder in your cohort approaches investors who actually fund companies like theirs.
