Fully Funded Three-Month Camp for Startups in South Africa 2019

Startupbootcamp is offering startups from across the world the opportunity to participate in the 3-month Accelerator Program from 11 August till 8 November 2019 in Cape Town in Africa. Participants will accelerate their companies with the help of a first-class team of entrepreneurs, investors, and partners. In 3 months, the selected teams would have achieved what normally would take 18 months, by leveraging direct access to key contacts in the industry. 

Requirements:

1. The camp is looking for founders who are passionate about solving big problems and have taken the first steps to building something that customers find valuable
2. While teams with multiple co-founders were able to dramatically improve their acceleration over the short 3-month program, the camp mostly invests in single founders
3. Typically, a single founder has a product with customer traction and is actively seeking a co-founder 
4. A variety of startups are accelerated at different stages. Typically the earliest stage a startup enters our program is having a core team with diverse skill sets in place, and has a product built that initial customers are using
