We run a quick investment process. We invest $150,000 in each company that is accepted to go through our accelerator program. It takes us up to 3 weeks from the first meeting to decide whether we'll make an offer (send a Term Sheet).

We don't like to waste founders' time. Our screening process is entirely virtual & remote. All founders receive feedback and know their status through every step.

We look forward to reviewing it and we appreciate your time & effort in our process.
