About DGIx Cambodia

The Digital & Green Innovation Accelerator (DGIx) Cambodia is a 9-month structured program for ventures using digital or tech-enabled solutions to address environmental challenges. Between May 2025 and January 2026, we are thrilled to support seven mission-driven ventures to strengthen and grow.

 

By the end of the program, the ventures will improve their team, their operations, their growth roadmap, their supporting documents, and their path to financing. This isn’t a surface-level program to polish a pitch deck. It’s a rigorous, tailored program to accelerate the growth and impact of an incredible group of ventures. The program is actively underway, so if you would like to learn more or get involved, please reach out!

Our Approach

Highly tailored, hands-on support

Each venture is thoughtfully matched with a skilled business mentor. This is someone who can dive deep into the business and help each venture tackle the most critical areas of business strengthening — from financial forecasting, operational efficiency, team restructuring, and more. We also offer specialized consultant support in more niche technical areas, based on the needs of each venture.

The right amount of challenge — with guidance

The entrepreneurs we’re working with already bring a lot of experience, so we’re not here to lecture. Instead, our mission is to bring new insights, skills, tough questions, and some structure to help them work towards their growth goals. For example, our core investment readiness “sprint” series helps build the components of a strategic roadmap, financial documents, and other deliverables.

Building core team capacity

Unlike many accelerators that focus only on CEOs, we work closely with middle management teams too. The program offers dedicated training, coaching, and peer learning sessions for these core team members to strengthen their leadership, communication, and other soft skills.

Peer-powered learning

There’s theory… and then there is the real experience gained from running a mission-driven startup. That’s the kind of insight we value most. The cohort nature of the program is a unique chance for a group of amazing leaders to learn from each other. And as much as possible, we bring in other experts with this grounded experience — successful founders, investors, etc. — to serve as our “trainers.”

Helping unlock investment potential

We help ventures understand what different types of investors are looking for by hearing directly from investors and local startups that have successfully secured investment. We provide opportunities to practice engaging or pitching to an investor and receive feedback in a structured and supportive environment.

Facilitating ecosystem exposure & connections

Our focus is on helping each business grow and thrive. That means helping them gain visibility, credibility, and new contacts. We professionally produce a video for each venture and facilitate media placements. We also facilitate strategic introductions to potential business partners, experts, and mission-aligned investors or lenders.
