Dallas, TX, 7th November 2022 — Wisepath, the first soft skills training platform that uses mainstream video games to measure and improve students and professionals’ soft skills, was accepted into Newchip’s renowned global accelerator program. Designed to provide all the skills and tools founders need to rapidly fund, build and scale their companies, past accelerator cohorts averaged more than 17.5 times the average funding amount. The equity-free, fully digital accelerator has helped over 1,500 founders from more than 50 countries and 250 cities raise over $450 million in funding with an estimated portfolio of over $9B.
“Newchip evaluates a diverse number of companies across all industries from around the world, selecting a small percentage to join our accelerator,” says Armando Vera Carvajal, Vice President of Product at Newchip. “This strict selection process makes us an ideal partner for investors looking for promising start-ups. HRTech companies like Wisepath can scale quickly with proper funding and guidance. We are excited for Wisepath and believe they will do well at Newchip.”
With more than 5 years of research and 2 years of successful European trials, Wisepath was recently incorporated in US to bring to students and professionals all over the world the opportunity to train their soft skills while playing their favorite video games. The pandemic, the great resignation, and the upcoming recession have accelerated the interest of professionals and companies for soft skills which are highly regarded by international businesses as key for the company success and the long-term well-being of their employees. Wisepath plans to scale rapidly in order to meet the market's increasing demand.
“We are excited to learn from business experts with strong track-records of success, learn how to build a scalable and investable business and connect with investors interested in our industry. The collaboration with Newchip will enable us to raise the funding needed to build a strong MVP for the US market and create solid partnerships with the global VC community to grow quickly and expand internationally”, says Gianluca Ferremi, CEO of Wisepath.
