Process
How it Works
No paperwork at enrolment. No applications to fill out. Your business results speak for themselves.
02
Build Your Business
Over 18 months, build a real, revenue-generating business with 1:1 mentorship from entrepreneurs who’ve done it before. Focus on customers, revenue, and growth.
03
Cross The Threshold
Hit $500K+ in annualised revenue with strong month-over-month growth. Our investment committee reviews all graduates automatically against published criteria — no application needed.
04
Receive Investment
Selected founders are offered up to $50,000 via a SAFE note at a 25% discount to their next funding round. You can accept or decline — entirely your choice.
Selection Criteria
What We Look For
Published and transparent. Your business results determine eligibility — not who you know or how well you pitch.
01
10x potential
Can this company 10x without a fundamental change in how it operates? Digital products, e-commerce, platform dynamics, or productised services.
02
15%+ MoM · 3+ Months
Consistent momentum over multiple months. A fast-growing company at lower revenue can be more compelling than a larger but stagnant one.
03
Full-time dedication
Full-time focus on this business, or transitioning within three months. We’re investing in people as much as in the numbers.
04
Positive gross margin
Positive gross margins and a clear path to profitability. We look at customer acquisition cost, average contract value, and retention.
05
$500K+ Annual
Verified revenue from paying customers — not projections, grants, or one-off windfalls. We verify through bank statements, Stripe, and accounting records.
Terms
Clear, Standard Terms
The same instrument used by Y Combinator and thousands of startups worldwide.
