Throughout the entire pre-selection process, you can gather up to 40 points for applying to the tenders SK50 and SK200, and entering the accelerators Start:up Geek House or Go:Global Slovenia. Register into the application system and submit your e-application by September 15, 23:59 PM.
Training with excellent mentors
Participation in the pre-selection process is important because excellent start-up mentors (such as Matej Golob, Rok Stritar, Kristjan Pečanac and others) will use the working weekend, or the investment preparation programme to help you finalize your business idea and perfect your business model. At the demo day, you will personally present yourself in front of the pre-selection committee, but beforehand, the mentors will help you prepare a remarkable and effective presentation.
Meeting the right people
You will meet business consultants who will help you prepare the final tender documentation and answer any of your additional questions. Throughout the entire pre-selection process, you will make valuable contact with more than 50 fellow entrepreneurs, mentors and other players of the Slovenian start-up ecosystem. Personal investors will also be in attendance, and you will be able to arrange meetings for obtaining additional capital, which is one of the conditions for applying to SK200.
Obtain up to 40 tender points
Throughout the entire pre-selection process (submitted application, presentation, participation at the business weekend or the investment preparation programme, and a personal presentation at the demo day) you can gather up to 40 points that are taken into account during the evaluation of the final applications for the tenders SK50 and SK200. The bare minimum for obtaining an investment is having 60 points, out of 100 possible, when submitting the final application.
The pre-selection application
In order to apply for the pre-selection procedure for both tenders and accelerators, you have to answer 10 crucial questions about your business idea and the team, as well as add three attachments:
- proof of business idea concretization (add the link to the sales site, a prototype, MVP, sketches etc.; add as much material as possible that demonstrates the already visible concretization of your idea),
- short video presentation of the team and your work (it can be simple, filmed with a phone),
