The Journey of an AI Startup to the U.S. and Raising a Seed Round
German Accelerator helped Tiramizoo overcome hurdles, secure new customers, and refine their expansion strategy.
The Challenge
Nomitri's main challenge was expanding into the U.S. market, where they struggled with pitching their AI solution and gathering training data during the pandemic. They also had to navigate differing attitudes toward AI between Germany and the U.S. while ensuring a strong data privacy strategy from the start.
How German Accelerator Helped
German Accelerator played a crucial role in helping Nomitri overcome its challenges during international expansion. The program provided valuable mentorship that significantly improved the team’s ability to pitch their AI solution, especially to U.S. investors.
Through continuous feedback, they learned to refine their storytelling and better communicate the broader impact of their technology. Additionally, German Accelerator connected them with a network of high-profile mentors and industry experts who provided insights into the differences in sales processes between Europe and the U.S.
The program also introduced Nomitri to potential U.S. customers, which was especially critical during the pandemic when in-person meetings were difficult. This support helped Nomitri sharpen both their product and company story, ultimately leading to a successful seed funding round.
“I would say that German Accelerator was a super crucial experience that we needed to have in order to sharpen our product story and our company story.”
