A long application, by our reading.

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

Tips for applying for an accelerator
General advice from us, the same for every accelerator. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Check whether they take a share of your business, and how much. It is shown under the facts when the listing says.
- 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 competitors. It is normal.
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.
