Applications

Application Workflow#

The application process is a multi-stage workflow managed jointly between the startup and the incubation team.

• Startup discovers program via ecosystem or direct link
• Startup fills application and answers scheme questions
• Incubation admin reviews the application
• Admin may request changes or additional documents
• Application moves through evaluation stages
• Panel members score the application
• Startup is onboarded or rejected

Application Status Flow#

• Submitted - received, not yet opened
• Reviewed - through the first read, moving forward
• Under review - the panel is scoring it; usually the longest stage
• Evaluated - scoring is done and a decision is being made
• Verified - checks passed, onboarding is next
• Onboarded - you are in the programme
• Rejected - not taken forward, with feedback where the incubator left it
• Removed - taken out of the programme by the incubator
• Anything the incubator needs from you - a change, a document - shows as a note beside the status ('1 document needed'), not as a status of its own

Change Requests#

Incubation admins can request modifications to an application. Startups receive a notification, and the request shows beside the application's status until they respond.

• A general change - rewrite part of the application itself
• A document change - replace one specific file you uploaded
• A question change - redo your answer to one scheme question

Document Requests#

Admins can request additional supporting documents at any stage of the application. Startups upload documents through the portal and the application status updates automatically.
