For SaaS businesses with ground-breaking ideas
If you’re a SaaS entrepreneur or an existing business with a ground-breaking new idea, the accelerator partner programme can help you with both the technical delivery aspects of your project, as well as the onward steps involved in growing your market share.
We know we’re asking you to trust us with something extremely important to you. So, we need to explain how our tech accelerator programme works.
The accelerator process
We’ve worked with a number of start-ups in sectors ranging from healthcare to construction, and finance to e-commerce. And we’ve identified that while nuances naturally exist from one brief to the next, there are many non-negotiable stages to progress through – each with their own processes, objectives and outputs – on the road to building a successful, scalable software business.
Below is an example of how the process can work from initial assessment of your SaaS product through to becoming a technical partner…
One of the reasons IDS stands out in such a congested space, is by providing an outsourced CTO and engineering service that feels like a true extension of an organisation’s technical team. This value-added partnership approach is an attractive proposition from the perspective of potential funders too, as investment risks are minimised.
