Selection

Applicants are filtered down to approximately 60 who are then interviewed. After the interviews there is a second filtration to 20 which are selected to participate in a 5 day intensive bootcamp focused on lean startup principles conducted by a world-class startup coach/trainer. At the end, participants pitch in a Shark-tank-style format in front of a selection committee who vote for the top 6-8 startups that will go on to the program and receive $32,000 in seed investment, along with perks, office space and legal services.

4th Month

The fourth month of the program is reserved for pitch preparations. The startups are required to finalize their pitch presentations and write down their scripts in preparation for demo day. During the pitch practices, the startups receive feedback from the Flat6labs team, or in some cases an invited mentor. We also spend this time working on product and business development in preparation for the Demo Day.

Demo Day

Demo Days are designed for graduating startups to showcase their businesses post-acceleration and generate public hype and interest from potential investors. With our Digital Demo Day format, startups are able to receive global exposure as the pitches are pre-recorded and edited together to create a high-end production standard finish, which is then presented as a YouTube Premiere. The Demo Days are heavily promoted and generate thousands of viewers from several countries. A landing page is also created where the presenting startups’ information is readily available to interested investors.

Post-Graduation

Following the completion of Demo day, an investor mailshot containing the startups’ investor decks and contact details are sent out to Flat6Labs’ investor database. The investment team consistently works with the startups on securing follow-on investment and arranging meetings with VCs, Angel investors, and other sources of funding as well as aiding in their business development activities by looking for synergies within our partner network. All graduated startups will attend monthly meetings with the team to share updates, seek support and liaise on business development activities.
