Enterprise Business Acceleration Program, the flagship accelerator program of One to Watch (OTW), aims to help growth-stage businesses move to the next level of their business growth. The program opened applications for its 2018/19 cohort on June 2018. This year, ten companies were selected from a pool of more than 250 applicants. After 12 weeks of intensive mentorship based program - Enterprise, selected ten companies that were investment ready and have the necessary tools to help them scale their businesses. In the following 12 weeks the ten companies worked with experienced mentors and industry experts to fine-tune their business models, and build a strong financial plan. As a culmination to the program, the participating companies pitched their businesses to a selected group of banks, angel investors, venture capitalists and private equity funds, in Nepal and London. The Demo Day in Kathmandu took place on February 18 at Soaltee Crowne Plaza. The Demo Day London in London was a part of a larger conference, Nepal Development Conference: Investment Opportunities in Nepal, which was jointly organised by One to Watch and the Embassy of Nepal, London. The conference was held at the Embassy of Nepal in London on February 22. Dr. Yuba Raj Khatiwada, Minister of Finance, of Government of Nepal was the keynote speaker.
