Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the aim of the program?

The aim of this program is to nurture ideas and turn them into investment ready businesses.

The aim of the program is to help you build that product and get the traction you need opening doors for angel investment. All while ensuring you minimize mistakes and problems that young founders struggle with by surrounding them with experienced developers, analysts, entrepreneurs and advisors.

Do I need to have an existing product?

No you don’t have to have a product! We encourage idea stage and first time founders to apply as they are the ones the benefit the most from this program.

Is this program for me?

We welcome teams of all sizes. Whether you are a solo founder or a group of co-founders, through our CxO matchmaking program we will help you find your next partner and will also help you setup your full team.
