We're curious to learn more about your venture
We will ask you a series of quantitative and qualitative questions about your startup. Please take your time (around 10 minutes) and answer all the mandatory questions. It should go without saying that we handle all data and information confidentially.
After we receive your information we’ll provide you with a freshly created dataroom, where you can find your pitch deck and list of what else would be nice, but not necessary at this point. We want to give you full control over your data. We try to provide the first feedback within one working week and inform you about further steps.
