Selected teams will go through an intensive 3-month acceleration, and benefit from tailored 1on1 mentoring with the world-class lead and on-demand mentors, and attend workshops by the top-notch experts in digital, AI/ML, design, business, sales, marketing, investment attraction, etc. The program will also feature networking events for startups to get connections with other startup founders, investors, corporate representatives and other ecosystem players. Startups that are raising or planning to raise funds will benefit the most from our program – specifically from the post-acceleration investment attraction support.
No, teams do not pay for the participation. In addition, it is an equity-free program. We only get up to 5% of received investment in 12 months after the program.
All sessions, trainings, peer to peer, and other acceleration-related activities will be held online. At the same time, the program includes several offline events for networking, participation in side events, and other activities designed to best prepare startups for pitching. Demo Day is held offline; however, online participation is also possible.
To participate in our program, a commitment of 4 to 6 hours a week is expected to be sufficient. You or members of your team will have weekly workshops on different topics from product development to raising capital for your startup. Lead mentors will meet with you and your team biweekly to discuss your pressing questions or ambitious ideas, and guide you through the acceleration to get the best results. But if you wish to receive more mentoring and guidance, we will help to pair you with on-demand mentors and experts.
Since we are an international program with many startups, experts, and partners from various countries, the program is conducted in English. All participants need to have a comfortable level of proficiency in the language to engage effectively in the program.
