REVERA and SCALE’HER Launch Cooperation to Support Women Founders of Deep-Tech Companies in Europe

REVERA law group and the European SCALE’HER project have agreed to cooperate under the SCALE’HER Accelerator Programme — a programme supporting women founders of deep-tech companies as they grow their businesses and prepare to scale.Under the partnership, REVERA will provide legal support to the accelerator’s projects and residents, assisting founders in addressing the legal aspects of business development, fundraising and entry into new markets.SCALE’HER is a Horizon Europe-funded initiative aimed at advancing women entrepreneurs in Europe’s strategic digital and deep-tech sectors. The project brings together partners from nine countries and provides support to 60 women-led IT projects.The accelerator programme launched in September 2026 and runs for nine months, comprising six months of intensive acceleration followed by three months of mentoring. It covers capital-raising strategy, financial strategy, leadership and positioning, and is aimed at companies transitioning from technology validation to market scale-up.

Legal support for companies at the scale-up stage

For deep-tech companies, legal matters become increasingly important as the business grows — from establishing the corporate structure and founder arrangements to protecting intellectual property, managing investment, contracting and entering new markets.

As part of the cooperation, REVERA’s experts will contribute to the programme’s educational track. The primary aim is to equip founders with practical tools for understanding legal risks and making better-informed decisions as their companies develop.

“For deep-tech companies, the legal dimension is not merely a matter of compliance. At the scale-up stage, it is directly linked to investment readiness, technology protection, the structuring of partner relationships and entry into new markets. We are delighted to partner with SCALE’HER and to share with founders the practical experience that helps businesses grow with these factors in mind from the outset,” says Inna Semyonova, Senior Associate at REVERA law group.

SCALE’HER positions the programme as a cross-border accelerator: participants gain access to an international network of founders, investors, experts and innovation ecosystems. The programme is designed for women-led deep-tech start-ups at TRL 6–9 that are already market-facing and plan to raise capital within the next 12 months.
