FAQ
What is the ideal profile for a startup to join this program?
The ideal startup operates across various verticals, is based in Romania (or led by Romanian founders), and is market-ready, typically between the seed and Series A stages. It should have already secured funding from previous sources, demonstrate a validated business model—preferably with market traction—and be led by a seasoned, well-rounded team. Startups with intellectual property (IP) ownership will receive additional consideration. P.S. If you feel you’re not a perfect fit, apply anyway, and we might be able to help!
