How It Works.
The committee will select from amongst the Applicants in each Tier, a Cohort of Entrepreneurs best suited to enter the Accelerator. In these rounds, companies will go through a substantive curriculum to develop the participants for the next round.
Subject to each Participant’s performance within the Accelerator, a shortlist of the most ideal Projects in each Cohort will be selected to enter the Pitch Rounds.
During the Pitch Rounds, Participants will have the opportunity to compete for development and investment funding totalling TT $1M by delivering their Business-Case Proposal to an experienced panel of business and industry professionals, who will determine the most ideal and feasible Proposals.
In preparation for the Pitch Rounds, each of the projects will be assigned an Expert Business Mentor who will guide them in the development of their respective Pitch Proposals. The Winners of the Pitch Round Event from each Tier will be selected for the Funding Rounds.
