What's the Deal?
What's the Timeline?
We’re looking for the best of the best, from anywhere in the world. Our critical selection process at Startupbootcamp is legendary, for a good reason. The ten teams we pick need to be ready to be accelerated to the next level. Here are some criteria we’re searching for:
We’re looking for strong startup teams that demonstrate initiative regardless of nationality. Our mentors and founders can spot talent and brilliance when they see it. If selected, you must be available to come to Haifa for the Selection Event Days and for the program period December 10th to March 14th 2012/13.
All startups in the internet, mobile, technology industry can apply.
You can apply with 2 founders but to really accelerate your startup we prefer a strong team of 3 people. We look for teams with the following skills – tech development, marketing & sales, design, business expertise with drive, vision and leadership, and we also believe marketing & research talents need to be in the team as they start their customer discovery and development. Be prepared to show our selection teams that you have these skills on board.
The atmosphere in Haifa is open, direct, collaborative and hard-working. We have clear targets and deadlines. All sessions, including Demo Day, will take place in English.
Note that this accelerator is a full-time, intensive program. It often involves working late into the night and weekends. Be prepared to put your social life on hold! Don’t even think of combining it with a job or studies.
