Tenity (formerly F10) Unites Global Fintech Innovation with AcceleratorApp

About Tenity

Tenity is a startup incubator and accelerator founded in 2015 that supports and guides startups in transforming their ideas into successful companies, while facilitating global collaboration with international financial organisations. As a non-profit organisation with offices in Zurich, Singapore, Tallinn, Istanbul, London, Madrid, and Barcelona, it operates across 6 countries with significant scale.

The numbers speak volumes: 2,000 applications are received yearly, 100 startups are added to their portfolio each year, and operations span 6 countries. Their programs have funded over $150 million and helped more than 150 startups connect with entrepreneurs, experts, mentors, and investors for both early-stage and late-stage venture investing.

Tenity is committed to ensuring everyone takes full advantage of their ecosystem. From preparing startups to work with investors to providing a business environment for companies to innovate, they needed something that could handle their complexity.

A Multi-Country Coordination Challenge

Running parallel programs in different countries creates unique operational headaches. Tenity needed to handle applications coming from each country and make them accessible to asynchronous teams working across different time zones.

They required varying levels of access for different team members, performance evaluations that were consistent across locations, meeting scheduling that didn't break down due to geography, and detailed reporting that provided visibility into their entire global operation.

When you're processing 2,000 applications yearly and managing 100 startups across 4 countries, coordination becomes everything. Without the right systems, talented startups fall through the cracks and team members end up duplicating work or missing critical information.

Tenity needed a virtual hub that could manage applications, evaluations, and incubation programs for 3 hubs twice a year. They were looking for a technological tool that would help them unite all the fintech and insurtech ecosystems under one roof.

Why Tenity Chose AcceleratorApp

Tenity didn't take any shortcuts in their selection process. They were on an exhaustive search for a platform that could meet all their needs.

Comprehensive Evaluation Process 

Different platforms were evaluated and tested thoroughly. AcceleratorApp was chosen because it checked off most of the boxes they had identified as critical for their operations.

Strong Application Management 

The application process module was particularly impressive and showed constant improvement based on customer needs. For an organization processing 2,000 applications annually, this foundation had to be rock-solid.

Multi-Location Support 

AcceleratorApp could handle their distributed team structure and varying access levels across different countries and time zones.

Smooth Implementation Across Languages and Cultures

Tenity made sure their entire team was ready for the transition. The training to learn how to use AcceleratorApp was carried out with the entire team and was even offered in Spanish for those who felt more comfortable with it.

Once the team understood how to configure the platform, Tenity launched their first call. They could immediately see how easy it was to manage submissions, evaluations, meetings, and associated emails for each person involved in the process.

The multilingual support and comprehensive training meant adoption happened quickly across all their locations.

Handling 1,700 Applications and Growing

Since implementing AcceleratorApp, Tenity has efficiently handled 1,700 applications and onboarded a large part of their community. The platform has improved several key aspects of their operation:

Increased Productivity 

The team can process more applications and manage more startups without increasing headcount. Time that used to go toward administrative coordination now goes toward actual startup support.

Greater Sense of Control 

With operations spanning multiple countries, having visibility into everything happening across the network gives leadership confidence that nothing important is being missed.

Fewer Errors 

When you're coordinating across time zones and languages, small mistakes can compound quickly. AcceleratorApp's structure prevents things from falling through the cracks.

Better Experience for Community Members 

Mentors, experts, and evaluators now have a smoother experience when working with Tenity. They can access what they need when they need it, regardless of location.

Deeper Startup Insights 

The team now has greater insights into each startup's progress and needs, enabling more targeted support and better outcomes.
