How do we work?

The selection procedure has three steps:

1. Candidates will present their projects via the online FundingBox platform. Those complying with the general startup requirements will go on to the second step of the selection.

2. In phase 2 the projects will be evaluated by a panel of independent experts. Those with the best marks will present their projects to a jury in the Jury Day.

3. Lastly, the Selection Committee will determine the startup finalists to enter the acceleration program.

This makes a difference

We look for projects with a working prototype already available. You should have at least two founders working full time on the project, owning at least 51% of shareholders’ equity. Your market launch target date must be within the 6 months of the acceleration program. If already launched, the service/product must have been in the market for less than seven years.

A good pitch

Your initial application online will be reviewed by IMPACT based on several aspects, including: Level of usage of mobility concept as a core of the business model. Level of integration of FI-WARE technology. Founders dedication to the project. Current status in terms of users, sales and profit. Team skills. Proved experience in the target market.

Later on in the selection procedure, IMPACT will look closer at especially the quality of your team, your startup’s commercial potential and link to the mobile sector.
