TEAM REQUIREMENTS
We'll provide you with the best resources our region can offer, but if you are chosen as one of our companies, we have a few guidelines that will help us grow the strongest companies:
- Your company will consist of two or more people.
- Your company should be a technology driven service or product in the innovative web, mobile application, service, SaaS and product solution companies with particular interest in consumer marketing and analysis, enterprise, healthcare, security and manufacturing sectors, but we are open to considering teams in other industries if you have a really excellent idea.
- Your team must be willing to have at least two founders relocate or currently live in Richmond for the duration of the 13 week session. We do not require that you stay in Richmond once you complete the program, but you might be surprised by how easy it is to fall in love with our city.
- Our focus is on scalable technology driven corporations (we are not currently accepting non profit organizations for acceleration, but we will consider B corporations)
