Program

Dedicated to boosting your startup potential.

The pre-acceleration program is comprised of a few components, such as the application and two selection processes: the first one includes the bootcamp for all twenty startups, and second one the invitation of the top six startups to participate in the pre-acceleration program for a period of five months and to pitch in front of investors on Demo day.

Any team or startup (company) that wants to join the program can do so by filling out a short online application form.

The actual form is composed of the following subsections:

• The name of the project and the team

• A summary of the Business case

• Fundamental details about the members of the team.

• Pitch deck, which is a presentation of the idea in either. pptx or.pdf format;

• Video pitch of up to two minutes in length (amateur unedited video recorded with a phone or video camera).

The pre-selection process is open to all projects that have been registered in accordance with the application deadline and that have submitted application forms in their entirety. The purpose of this process is to select a minimum of 20 of the projects that are of the highest quality and most promising and have won the most points.

Bootcamp

An enabler to funding, mentoring and talent

In the second phase of the selection process, twenty startups will be invited to participate in a Bootcamp that lasts for four days where the six best-rated teams by internal criteria will select for the pre-acceleration program.

The bootcamp is going to be divided up into the following four sections:

• Workshops (design thinking, development of startup initiatives); 

• Meet-ups, keynote speeches; 

• Group work with mentors;

•  Individual work with mentors; 

• Work in both group and individual settings with mentors.

The organization of the Bootcamp will have two goals, the first of which is to build the capacity of a larger target group in order to further develop innovative startup projects, and the second of which is to build a community through the interaction of a larger group of registered teams.
