The online program will start 1 month after the start of the offline program. Participants of the online program will receive high-quality, recorded video and audio content of everything that will happen on the offline program. Participants of the online program will start working on their own project from the first day.
No, having a live product or an established company is not a requirement. Our offline bootcamp primarily caters to pre-seed and seed startups. However, teams are welcome to apply with just an idea if they are passionate about developing it and are committed to dedicating their full-time efforts if accepted. Throughout the program, we encourage teams to iterate and enhance their ideas.
