Before You Start. Read Carefully.

Please Note that The Startup Centre follows a slightly different model compared to conventional Accelerators. We have a two phased programme - The Resident Programme and the Accelerator Programme. Companies applying for the Accelerator are expected to have their Product-Market fit done, before applying and the mentoring / support infrastructure provided is on the more advanced stages. It is NOT expected of a company to be in the Accelerator Programme to be Pivoting. You can learn more about our model at http://www.thestartupcentre.com/model

Elaborate and Share Statistics wherever possible. Be Detailed. But Crisp. (Think every sentence as a tweet).

Things to keep in mind:
Your startup and founder profiles are a major part of your application. Make sure they're up to date. Link their Profiles to the Application form. Convince us that you are the right person for THIS idea that you are working on.

If you can do a video Pitch, you definitely get brownie points. Reviewing of the applications begin as soon as you submit it, so the earlier you submit, the more time we will have to review, and do a to-and-fro on your application for further details. Late Entrants will not have that Luxury.
