WHO CAN APPLY?
Early-stage startups or businesses with at least a prototype / MVP or a pilot completed. We look for committed founders with conviction in their models
And NO, you do not have to be a tech company to be part of the program. Our goal is to nurture entrepreneurship of every kind. (If you are currently at an idea stage, you are unlikely to benefit from our accelerator program, though you are most welcome to attend the public events, expert talks, panel discussion and group learning sessions we will conduct. You can also sign up for our mailers and other information notes that we will share to help entrepreneurs become better aware of aspects of a business building).
