Donegal SCALE-X seeks innovative tech startups

by Startacus Admin
Applications are now open for Donegal SCALE-X, a new 12-week accelerator programme for innovative tech startups with ambitions to grow globally
We know there are lots of accelerators out there - but this one’s a tad different! Donegal SCALE-X has been built by investors - for entrepreneurs. And it’s currently open for applications!
Here’s what you need to know:
This 12 week programme is aimed at startup founders who have an ambition to grow their business globally, but, most importantly, who have a commitment to grow their business from Donegal - no matter where they may be based right now. The startups should ideally have a tech or digital focus but any industry vertical will be considered.
The SCALE-X team are seeking founders that have a unique insight into their industry, whether that’s been gained through experience or a passion for the sector, as well as those founders that have created innovative solutions to particular customer problems.
They’ll also be looking at the scale of ambition of the founder/s, the potential market size and factoring in which founders they could potentially help the most. 10 teams will be selected to take part in this innovative new programme.
The programme schedule will include sessions on everything from Business Models and Metrics, through to Marketing and Sales, fireside chats and seminars with founders who have successfully scaled companies as well as lots of opportunities for intros with potential mentors, partners and investors to help founders develop those next steps.
Interested in applying? Get on it now! Applications must be in by noon on 24th May and the programme itself will begin on 9th June.
It’ll certainly be a summer to remember for the SCALE-X participants!
Best of luck to all who apply!
