FAQ's

All startup founders that have applications to the industry vertical can apply, but there are certain key success indicators we will be looking for:

  • We will be looking for  founders that are passionate about the problem they are solving and the customer they are solving it for.
  • We will be looking for founders that have an authentic connection to their chosen market. 
  • Companies will need to show global potential and be well positioned to leverage our global corporate and investor networks.
  • Companies will need to demonstrate that they have technology developed and are post revenue or post some other significant commercial achievement.
  • Companies will need to be structured to take investment.

Participant companies will gain the most value from the program if they are available to attend key activities including investor meetings and pitch events, however, our commitment to investors is to find the best opportunities to invest and the program is structured for 100% virtual delivery if required.

All participant companies will have access to $40,000 of support and services in the first 6 weeks of the program.

Companies that are accepted into the Investment program will have an option of receiving seed funding of up to $50,000 for an agreed equity stake in their business and structured support in their full capital raise.
