At what stages are participants in?
We’ll prioritize those that are early along in the process. Some may have a few ideas floating around, others may be looking for co-founders, and most haven’t developed their idea much further.
We feel the formative stages of a company are the most critical, and that they set the foundation and trajectory for the journey ahead. We want to ensure founders at this early stage have the adequate resources and infrastructure they need to succeed.
How many people will be part of the program?
Roughly 20 participants. And +10 entrepreneurs, investors and operators.
Do I need to create a company at the end of the program?
No. It’s up to you to decide how you want to proceed when the program ends.
