What We Look For

We welcome startups with at least a prototype or a minimum viable product. Developing beyond the concept stage will better demonstrate your vision, your capability to deliver it and get you ready to receive investment.

The success of a company, in addition to the soundness of the business concept and quality of the founding team, depends significantly on their access to:

Industry knowledge

Prior experience in running similar or related businesses

Execution ability

Professional legal, financial, regulatory and technical advice

Mentors

Decision makers

Application Proccess

We encourage startups in need of early stage financing to contact us via a member who knows you or your project. If you don't know anyone in our group, you can use the Contact form to tell us about your project.

Please submit either an one-to-two page teaser and/or a short PowerPoint describing the business and its funding needs.

Upon receipt, we will endeavor to revert shortly to say yes or no whether to continue.

^^ NOTE: You must first be logged into a Google/Gmail account to use this form ^^

Further Steps...
