PRIZES

Each company participating in the programme is offered €120,000 in funding. This is structured in two parts: they invest €20,000 in exchange for 6 percent of the equity and participation in the programme (this is not a valuation event). The investment is obligatory and participating companies have to complete the equity investment.

They also offer a convertible debt note of €100,000 to each company prior to the commencement of the program. Companies can – but do not have to – accept the note.
