how it works

the program is split into blocks — each has a theory module and assignments. complete them and move forward. miss them and you're out. that's how we filter for founders who are genuinely ready to build.
every session produces an artifact that any top-50 VC will request during due diligence. by the end you walk out with a complete, investor-ready data room.

participation is entirely free. our core goal is to help as many strong startups as possible close their first round.

you won't be going it alone

experts review your project every week and give direct feedback

finalists get dedicated 1-on-1 hours before demo day for deep-dive prep and pressure-testing.

each finalist receives grants ~ $30,000
and our partner fund is ready to allocate an advertising budget to the best projects + provide a marketing team to help plan and set up the campaigns

and of course — we’ll be right by your side, for the 6 months after demo day opening doors and helping you raise the funding you need

what do you get at the end?

everything you need to build and raise — plus access to 200+ venture studios, funds, angels, and syndicates at demo day

какие условия? это бесплатно?

we operate as a classic incubator / accelerator.
mid-program we sign a future equity agreement
— all participating investors are aware of this arrangement.
separate conditions exist for founders who want guaranteed access or prefer not to share equity.

free to join. we only take a dilutable
6%—if, and only if, you raise investment

from the startup, upon closing of an investment round

6%

1. Your project targets a global market — North America, Europe — or a vertical where you have genuine, demonstrated expertise

2. You have at least an MVP. Ideally you've already run paid acquisition and have validated demand. Idea-stage projects are not considered

4. There's no target cohort size — not 10 projects, not 5. We'll drop anyone who misses deadlines. This is a selective program, not a free course. No recordings. Platform access is restricted to those who make it through

3. You genuinely need capital. You're already fundraising or planning to. You will be disappointed if you join "just to learn"

5. No restrictions on market or niche — but keep in mind that investors may pass on highly exotic or niche projects.

6. The program is demanding. Keeping up is genuinely hard. But building a startup isn't easy either :)

the entire program is designed so that every session contributes to your data room. This means that every assignment results in a tangible artifact that investors are guaranteed to request.
We curated this list of artifacts based on the requirements of the top 50 VCs globally

if everything looks good:

we will send all materials to the investor and introduce you. They have closed hundreds of similar deals and the process is streamlined, so you don't need to worry.
Plus, we will guide you through these stages—answering your questions, helping, and providing advice.

we won't leave you to face the investor alone or let you be taken advantage of. we will do our best to ensure your project gets the maximum possible value

alternatively, the situation might be okay:

a vc might be interested in your project but isn't ready to commit capital right now. however, the investor knows they have the option of a 'hypothesis test.' this means providing funding for 3 months to test a hypothesis, validate demand, or show initial results.

we have already pre-negotiated this possibility with our investors and will help you make it happen. if the demand or interest is confirmed, you will then be able to secure full investment

and if you haven't sparked any interest?

it’s disappointing, but it’s not the end of the road. this is exactly why you’ve been building your data room throughout the program. over the next six months, we will continue to support you with your fundraising efforts

what's the next?

if you have piqued an investor's interest, you will begin the due diligence and deal preparation process. if they aren't ready to commit yet, you still have plenty of opportunities ahead
