What is special about this program?

Since this is a real investing experience, all participating investors will do a small-ticket investment - and the funds will be given to the winning startup of the program. This nuance brings a level of seriousness, commitment, and real-world experience to the investors. Moreover, needing to select one startup, causes the investors to have harder ad deeper conversations and pay more attention to their own investment thesis, others’ investing style, and investor biases.
