The assumption
Whether you can state the one thing that has to be true, and whether a first release could test it.
MVP Accelerator
Apply to the MVP Accelerator
An application, not a brief. The first thing we do is test the assumption your business rests on, so that is what the form asks for - and it means the first call starts somewhere useful instead of starting cold.
Who it is for
- Founders with a product idea and a market they can describe, who have not built yet.
- Founders with something built that did not work, who want the assumption tested before spending again.
- Founders who arrive prepared - documentation, design concepts, wireframes - and want to start at Shape-It.
- Operators inside a business with a product that needs to exist outside it.
What you are applying for
A place in the Accelerator, which runs in four stages - Idea Validation, Shape-It, Build-It and Market-It. Each ends with a decision rather than an invoice, and you can stop after any of them and keep everything produced. How it works, stage by stage.
What happens next
-
We read it
Every application, by someone who could take the build.
-
A first call
A conversation on what you are building and what you are unsure about. No deck required.
-
A decision
We either propose a starting stage and a scope, or tell you why not and what we would want to see first.
What we look at
The founder
Whether you know the problem first-hand, or are describing someone else's.
The scope
Whether a useful first version is reachable, or whether the idea only works fully built.
Fit
Whether what you need is what we actually do. Saying no early is part of the job.
Apply
Seven short fields. The last two are the ones we actually read first.
