The partnership brings together Dealum's community of early-stage startups with Freshmango's expertise in startup acceleration, offering founders structured learning and mentorship without equity dilution.
Freshmango and Dealum are joining forces to give early-stage founders more options when it comes to accelerating their businesses, on their own terms, without giving up equity.
While traditional accelerators have long been the go-to path for early-stage startups seeking structure, mentorship, and investor access, many founders are now looking for alternatives that don't require them to trade ownership for guidance. This partnership addresses that gap by connecting Dealum's community of founders with Freshmango's proven acceleration methodology.
Through this collaboration, founders using Dealum's platform will be able to access the knowledge and structured learning typically available through traditional accelerator programs, while maintaining full control of their equity and moving at a pace that works for their specific situation.
"We're committed to bringing more opportunities to early-stage founders," said Seren Rumjancevs, CEO at Dealum. "This partnership with Freshmango recognizes that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to building a startup. Some founders need the flexibility to learn and grow without the pressure of accelerator timelines or equity commitments, and we want to support that journey."
For Freshmango, the partnership represents an opportunity to expand its impact on the startup ecosystem.
“Our goal is to redefine what support looks like for the modern founder,” said Philip Adler, Founder & CEO of Freshmango. “This partnership with Dealum reflects our shared belief that startup success shouldn't be gated by equity demands or rigid timelines. By merging our Build & Scale Framework™ with AI-driven clarity and direct capital access, we’re providing a flexible, high-velocity alternative that empowers founders to execute 76% faster while maintaining full ownership of their vision.”
The partnership reflects a broader shift in the startup ecosystem, where founders increasingly seek customizable support structures that align with their specific needs and goals, rather than following a standardized accelerator model.
Dealum continues to expand its network of partners that support founders throughout their fundraising journey, from preparation and education to investor engagement and beyond.
