program expectations
It’s a 12-week program designed around the needs of founders who are at the very early stage of their journey. The main focus of the program is to help you test as many hypotheses as possible, then validate your solution, define a business model, find first signs of market fit, and start generating revenue via scalable sales channels. Ultimately, the goal is to make you ready for growth, and become investable.
We introduce a stage gate during the 4th week of the accelerator. Think of it as a trial period for startups to check if they find enough value in what we offer, deciding whether to continue with SAFE. Simultaneously, it's our chance to see if we have what it takes to guide a team to success and if we're eager to proceed together.

Pre-assessment of your application is the first step. Once we get your submission for our accelerator, we carefully go through it, checking all the boxes like how well it fits with our mission statement, investment vertical, and the size we're looking for. You can expect to hear back from us in about 2 weeks after you hit submit.
If everything aligns well, we'll schedule a 30-minute introductory call to get to know each other better and delve into your motivation and commitment, ambition, skills, and mindset.
The next step is a 60-minute diagnostic call, where we analyze the depth of your insight, and crucial bottlenecks, and figure out how ULTRA.VC can bring extra value.
And the final step is meeting with your potential mentors and advisers from our pool. At this stage, you will meet 3-5 mentors, get to know each other better, share your vision with them, and get their feedback on it. After the meeting, we'll take a bit of time to make our final decision and share it with you.
