Program

We accept applications year round. Selected startups undergo investment thesis validation as well as business need validation.

A startup is assigned a team of sponsors who will support it throughout POC. Through multiple scoping sessions deliverable, success criteria and timelines are defined.

Over a period of 3 to 6 months, the
team of sponsors and the startup work together to deliver a successful POC.

Once a POC has been deemed successful, scoping for a pilot begins and the startup and the business unit get ready to launch into production.
