A short application, by our reading.
1. What to get ready
In their words: “Online application and a 3-minute video pitch via the Fuzé portal”
2. Dates
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. Our advice
- On the date, the listing says: No timing is stated. The application form needs JavaScript and could not be read, so we could not see whether it is open.

Tips for applying for an investment
General advice from us, the same for every investment. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Check what share they take and what they get to decide.
- Show traction: customers, sales, users, growth, even small.
- Say plainly what problem you solve, for whom, and why your team.
If there is an interview or a test
- Practise a two minute pitch and a longer five minute one.
- Expect hard questions about your market and your numbers.
All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
