Ideal team composition should include somebody able to develop the technology or an expert in the field of application, as well as somebody with a more sales orientation.
What kind of validation do I need?
Validation depends on the type of project and industry:
- for B2C services at least 30-50 customer interactions are required
- for B2B 2-4 LOIs are strongly recommended,
- for Healthcare/Pharma at least one expert vouching for the feasibility of the solution proposed, etc.
Do I need an incorporated company to participate?
No, early stage projects run by teams/individuals are more than welcome (and expected, considering our previous experience)
Do I have to be in Barcelona all summer? Can I accept a job/internship while participating in the Accelerator program?
- There's no need to be in Barcelona to participate in the Accelerator program, we'll establish a zoom connection for every session so that participants can attend remotely
- You can be working on something else and/or take a job/internship; however, commitment to the project is strongly valued and you must be able to show that you can make progress if you want to get access to mentors and the Demo Day
I am considering another accelerator program, what should I do?
- The eWorks Accelerator program is not conflicting with other programs, rather, it exists to provide additional support. If you are applying/have been accepted in another program, you can do both things in parallel.
