Hi,
I am a Textile Engineer and I want to know that could I present my Final year project in this program.
Hey Ali,
If your project meets requirements and you’d like to turn it into a startup, why don’t give it a try? 🙂
Note that you must apply to a team of at least two persons.
Good luck!

Hello Kima,
Thank you for the opportunity. I will share it with my team and will get back to you if we have any questions.

Thanks, Ben 🙂 Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Hi Kima,
Thanks for posting this!
Our team is interested. We’ve looked into the description and we got a bit confused.
From your article, we got an impression that it is a cash grant of 150,000 euros that we can get. On the official website, it reads “attractive pre-seed funding”. So would we have to give away equity or not?
Thanks in advance for clarification!

Hey Matt, the funding is equity-free.
