Who should apply

• Your product relies on a new technology, a scientific discovery, or a complex engineering process, not on a new way of selling existing technology.
• Your solution tackles an industrial, societal, or environmental problem that current solutions don’t solve, or opens a market that doesn’t exist yet.
• From pre-seed to Series D, you show a credible path to market: who will buy your solution, how it scales, and how it makes money. Already past Series D? Get in touch to see how we can support you.
• You apply as a team of at least two, ideally combining scientific and business expertise. Research and PhD teams can apply to the Spinout Breakthroughs track before incorporating.
