Yes, startups can receive investments outside of the accelerator in very specific cases. However, the vast majority of investments that startups receive happen through our accelerator program.
We are looking for early stage founders willing to bootstrap their project and target a seed round.

We consider that projects are too late after closing their Serie-A funding round.
So far, our average acceptance rate revolves around 3%.
If it makes sense for you to apply for a new program, we won't necesserily object. You should double-check the terms of your previous accelerator to ensure that no clause exists to prevent you from joining a new accelerator. Moreover, we ask founders to be fully committed to our accelerator program and wouldn't accept that you participate in two programs simultaneously.
We typically notify applicants within three weeks after the application deadline. Our team will email you whether or not your application has been accepted.
