Program requirements
Time is precious when you’re scaling your company.
That’s why we tailor each program to the needs of the respective startup, meet with the founder on a flexible basis and give them advice on the topics they care about. Our goal is to create an environment where founders can be the most productive and focus exclusively on scaling their startups without being distracted by fixed schedules or external commitments.
Please find the respective requirements on each program page:
Spark, Rise, Scale or the Fundraising Program.
We try to interfere as little as possible in the startups we accept to the program. We don’t take board seats or equity or many of the other powers startup programs sometimes require. We offer lots of advice, but we can’t force anyone to take it. We know that independence is one of the reasons why people start startups in the first place. And we strongly believe that is also one of the reasons startups succeed.
Selection criteria
We are looking for awesome software startups in the AI/ML, Fintech or B2B SaaS space. Most of our portfolio companies come from the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Singapore, and Australia, but we occasionally work with companies outside of these key places.
What matters is:
- You are building a product or service that has software at its core.
- Your team members have tech industry experience.
It doesn’t matter:
- If you generate revenue.
- How many people work in your company or if it’s only you.
- Your location.
Please see additional stage-specific requirements for the Spark Program, Rise Program and the Fundraising Program.
Application Process
The whole process from application to acceptance takes between 2-3 business days. We know speed is essential and some things can't wait.
Apply
We will review your application within 24 hours during business days.
Interview
After our initial review, we invite selected startups for an interview.
The interview will include the CEO and up to 2 key team members who will participate in the program (joining the guidance sessions, webinars, online community, etc.).
Review
After your interview, our venture committee will make a final decision on your application within 24 hours. We notify startups of their acceptance to the program on the day after the interview.
Kick-off
You will have immediate access to all mentors, content, community, perks & benefits, and help from our team.
