FAQs
Does my business need to be currently earning revenue to participate?
It depends on your business; some ventures take years to earn revenue, even with thousands of users! You should have a working, sellable product or service by the time the program starts.
I'm a part-time entrepreneur. Can I participate?
Absolutely! There are times each Monday and Wednesday where you'll need to be live and present for our virtual sessions, so be sure your work schedule can accommodate those. You should also anticipate 10-15 hours outside of sessions per week to work on program assignments within your venture.
Will I receive funding during the program?
No, there is no funding directly associated with the Impact Accelerator. This program will help you earn more revenue and be a better candidate for venture funding. As an alumnus, you'll be qualified to apply for the annual Demo Day competition, with thousands of dollars in grants up for grabs.
Who will be assigned as my mentor?
During your onboarding you'll share your goals, working style, and mentor preferences with SEED SPOT. We'll use that information to match-make you with someone from our network.
Do you accept nonprofit ventures?
Yes! About 20% of participants are nonprofit ventures, and we have a tailored version of the curriculum for nonprofits.
Do I have to give venture equity to SEED SPOT to participate?
Nope, hold onto your equity! Rather than taking partial ownership in your company, SEED SPOT charges an up-front fee of $1,999 per team or venture. This fee can be divided into payment plans if helpful.
