What we do
B2SMB Alliance

The fund invests in companies that directly or indirectly contribute to their clients' capitalization or revenue growth. We invest not in individual startups, but in a group of startups that come together and reinforce each other.

We create an environment for communication with each other, we put a lot of focus on that, we provide examples of successful connections and encourage you to make hypotheses about how you can improve each other's businesses. You can get insights, creative solutions and competitive advantages from our community if you decide to become a part of it.

Solid community

Above all, B2SMB Alliance is its people sharing ideas and interests and giving feedback to empower each other. The underlying idea of the project is that joint efforts lead to more rapid growth, and the Alliance community therefore forms an integral part of our business support approach.

Focus on strategy

Entrepreneurship is about finding balance between strategic and tactical decision-making. Teams, however, often start off by looking for perfect solutions to problems that are not their priority or don’t even need to be addressed. B2SMB Alliance aims to enhance teams' strategic vision via cooperation with other Allies and fund partners.

Scale

Thinking about global markets and clients' problems is the key skill to scale up a company. B2SMB Alliance does not limit entrepreneurs to countries or sectors. This way we can foster their vision of the grand strategy and their global goals.

Ongoing dialogue

The dialogue between Allies is based on a particular technique that integrates gamification into cooperative hypotheses testing. This approach actually has proven to be highly efficient and convenient.

Reviews

It was important for me that the investor was a business owner as well, earning his money by doing business. Then it's not just money, but the opportunity to stay open to the investor and get support from him - to share victories and failures on the same team.

When you talk to other business owner and listen to the challenges they face, you quickly find common ground between problems that are both theirs and yours.At the same time, the observer's position allows you to get the big picture from the outside and solve your tasks not in a stereotypical way but rather going beyond that.

The alliance hosted plenty of such communication.

1. Our project received our first seed investment thanks to this program. We were not even looking for an investor yet, but it turned out that this push to move forward was just in time. Our thanks go to the Alliance for highlighting and supporting us.
2. The Alliance fosters close members integration. Unlike short-term networking, educational programs or accelerators, here you actually get to find business owners matching your league and work in tight connection with them. It can be complicated for founders to stay on their own with their business-related issues. The mere presence of people sharing the same tasks and problems is very valuable. You can get a friendly piece of advice at the very least, and at the most, this environment promotes plenty of joint business ideas, mutually beneficial partnerships and opportunities to make each other better.
3. It is also valuable for me to be useful within the community. To share your expertise and assets, to help members grow their business and find solutions to their business-related problems. This promotes mutual involvement in projects and motivates to expand your business further.
