"I’ve now completed the LvlUp Labs course. It’s been one of the most practical programmes I’ve done. Two lessons changed how I run FieldSpot straight away: Approaching Sales (B2B) led me to rebuild our sales process. Every call now ends with a clear next step, and we’ve moved from free pilots to paid ones. The fundraising module shaped my data room, cap table and financial model for our £1.5m pre-seed round."

The combination of early investment, founder resources and ecosystem access has helped us move from a broad impact-led proposition toward a much clearer commercial recruitment model.

Their approach goes beyond simply connecting founders with opportunities: they bring structure, clarity and a strong understanding of what early-stage companies need to communicate. The guidance and conversations have helped us sharpen our thinking, communicate Veerlok’s vision more clearly, and look at our business from an investor’s perspective. For an early-stage founder building an ambitious IP, having the right ecosystem and people to challenge your thinking is extremely valuable. We appreciate LvlUp Ventures for being supportive, accessible and genuinely invested in helping founders move forward. I would recommend them to founders looking for practical guidance and a strong startup ecosystem."

"Joining LvlUp has been an important step in BM Diagnostics’ journey from an Italian healthtech startup to a company with global ambitions. The LvlUp ecosystem has given us access to a U.S.-oriented network, entrepreneurial community and opportunities that are difficult to build independently from Europe. The exposure to investors, founders and strategic relationships has helped us sharpen our international positioning and think bigger about the markets we can serve. For BM Diagnostics, LvlUp is not simply an accelerator relationship, it is a bridge between what we are building in Italy and the global healthcare ecosystem we want to reach. We are building technology to detect cardiac events earlier, bring diagnostics closer to people, and ultimately make prevention more accessible. LvlUp has helped us take another step toward that vision."

"Working with LvlUp Ventures has been a valuable experience for us at 360GadgetsAfrica. The LvlUp Ventures × Zendesk CX Innovation Challenge gave us practical insights into building a scalable customer experience as we grow. The workshop helped us think beyond simply responding to customer issues and start building structured systems around support, self-service, automation, and customer feedback. It gave us a clearer framework for reducing founder dependency and creating a more consistent experience for our customers. We appreciate LvlUp Ventures for creating an environment where founders can learn from experienced operators, ask the right questions, and turn those insights into practical improvements. The program came at an important stage of our growth and has influenced how we think about CX as we scale 360GadgetsAfrica."

We used the funding to pay for essential product, research and operating tools that have helped us strengthen our planning, investor readiness and MVP development. Just as valuable were the LvlUp office hours. The advice was practical, direct and relevant to the realities of building an early-stage health-tech company, from sharpening our commercial priorities and KPI reporting to thinking more clearly about pilots, customer validation and fundraising milestones. We are grateful for both the capital and the founder support.

The program has strengthened our positioning, sharpened our fundraising strategy, and given us greater credibility when presenting our business. What has stood out most is that investors and strategic partners are taking us more seriously. Conversations that previously required us to spend a lot of time explaining our potential now move much faster toward our traction, growth plans, and partnership opportunities. LvlUp has helped us communicate our story more effectively and see our business not simply as a local agricultural distribution company, but as a scalable agricultural platform with the potential to expand across Africa. The combination of mentorship, investor access, strategic connections, and the possibility of investment has been extremely valuable at this stage of our journey. We are grateful to the LvlUp team for believing in our vision and helping us turn our existing traction into a stronger, more investable story."
