Here’s how the application process works:
• We accept applications year-round.
• Although you’ll submit your application online, you can download a Microsoft Word version to make your submission easier and more efficient. (By now you know we’re all about getting to the future faster.)
• You’ll answer questions about your company’s mission and how it might intersect with our capabilities. We’ll also ask about the customer pain you’re solving, your team, your market opportunity, etc. Carefully consider your answers so we can make sure we’re a good fit for each other.
• We do respond to everyone who applies, so you’ll definitely hear from us.
• Twice a year, we hold a finalists Pitch Day for applicants. If you’re selected to participate, this is your chance to pitch us your idea.
• From there, we’ll choose our finalists and start validating the information you’ve provided.
• Next step: Take the stage and shine. Finalists present to an in-person and online global audience of panelists, our Advisory Board, investors, and other interested parties.
• We’ll extend participation agreements to select finalists.
• And that’s when the most important work begins.
