Initiator Booster, the program to kickstart your startup.
We help you build on solid grounds
We partner with founders from their earliest days. We enjoy the challenge of going from zero to one.
Our pre-seed companies participate in Initiator Booster, an early-stage bootcamp for founders with high potential ideas. We’ve been running programs for 2 years and we believe a small-cohort, 16-week program is the most efficient way to start building a company.
We customize Initiator for every company and adjust it to their needs. For this reason, we are very selective with our pre-seed investments (less than 3% acceptance rate, 15 companies per cohort). Any questions? Check our FAQ.
The process
STEP ONE
Apply as a startup or as a team
Let us know what you work on or what you’d like to work on. We’ll ask you to fill up a form and then you go through a couple short interviews. We try to keep the process short but we do need a complete profiling of you. The best way to get in our program is to meet with us. We have some scouts in most universities and a few info sessions. We are very approachable and love learning about you.
