Hey there, my name is Michael Herlache MBA. I'm the founder of the Unicorn Ventures.

Unicorn Ventures makes it easy for entrepreneurs to accelerate their startups in order to position themselves for angel or venture capital. Currently, most accelerators are dedicated to ideation and MVP development. This leaves entrepreneurs with a skill gap between themselves and what it actually takes to obtain angel or venture capital. By eliminating the skill gap, Unicorn Ventures creates a place where entrepreneurs can validate their startups and gain traction..
It’s unique because the accelerator is entirely dedicated to building startup capabilities like MVP creation, copywriting, marketing deliverable creation, customer development rather than startup support skills that can be outsourced freelancers. It’s special because entrepreneurs gain the validation and traction that angel investors and venture capitalists use to make their investment decisions.
The big benefit is that it helps entrepreneurs define a path to validation and traction rather than simply spending time on low ROI activities. This helps them avoid approaching angel investors and venture capitalists before the startup is ready.
