THE ÓRBITA ACCELERATOR SELECTION PROCESS:
PRE-SELECTION
Of all the applications received, 20 will be pre-selected, and only those that meet the requirements in the opinion of the selection committee, will move on to the actual selection phase.
SELECTION
The 20 pre-selected candidates will defend their project in a presentation before the committee, formed by members of the BIC, expert mentors, and investors. The presentations will have a 5 + 5 format, with 5 minutes of presentation and 5 additional minutes for questions from the members of the committee.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW
In the previous step the committee will select no less than 10 projects as finalists, which will go to the personal interview phase where they will have to explain their project in depth to the members of the committee, again, in a meeting / interview of not less than 30 minutes where the committee will decided their fates.
From this phase the 10 final projects that will be the participants of the final selection process will be selected and from which the five winners will be awarded a prize of €20,000.
ÓRBITA ACCELERATOR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES:
The 10 startups participating in the program will present their proposal at our Investor’s Day, where they will have the opportunity to defend their projects in an Investment Forum with Business Angels.
If the project has advanced adequately and arouses the interest of investors, the investment stage will open, which will be complemented with the search for the public financing line that best suits the project to multiply the effect of the investment received.
Throughout the program there will be a Project Director, who will act as a tutor and consultant in all matters that must be resolved during any of the phases of the acceleration program.
