CHAMPIONS FAQS:

  • What is my time commitment?
    We ask you to allocate 1 hour/month on your calendar to connect with Startups. In this hour we either introduce you to a startup based on your matching interests or we can connect you with other champions or just simply give it back to you if we do not have something appropriate for you at the time)
  • How frequent is the email/inbox commitment?
    It is minimal, opt-in and flexible. You may have to send a couple of forward introductions or follow ups from the Office Hour calls, for which our team is there to help with in any case.
  • Is there a financial commitment?
    Absolutely not. Au-contraire, we offer you Excelerate Award Units when on-boarding you as a Champion. The EAUs are derived from a portion of the equity which we get from Startups when they are accepted into the program.
  • What are other Champion benefits?
    Champions become part of an exclusive, invite-only global community of leaders and decision makers. As a result they get access to: engage early with disruptive startups in their area of interest, opportunities to network with other industry leaders, get featured as guests in thought leadership podcasts, exclusive startup investment opportunities alongside institutional investors through SPVs.
