Startup information
Partner Startup fulfilment process

Your Partner Success Manager will send you a 'Partner Startup form', which you are required to circulate to your Startups, requesting them to complete it as soon as possible. This form has a set of specific questions which will decide the correct track your Startup will exhibit through at our event. If approved, they will be assigned to the relevant track (ALPHA or BETA.)

The deadline for each Startup to complete the form is September 16th.

Partner Startup islands:

• If a Partner is bringing 8 Startups they will exhibit together for the 3 days of the event. Please note the minimum requirement to maintain this Startup Island is 6 Startups

• If a Partner is bringing 24 Startups, each Startup will only exhibit for 1 day of the event. Startup boards will be switched each day to accommodate all 24 Startups (particular exhibition days cannot be requested). Please note the minimum requirement to maintain this Startup Island is 18 Startups. If the minimum number is not met, Startups will instead exhibit in their industry-vertical

*Please note that Partner Startup Islands are not guaranteed to be located near your booth. Islands are allocated closer to the event and are based on floor space availability*.

Partner Startups exhibiting in industry-vertical:

• Startups that are not being placed within a dedicated Partner Startup Island will exhibit for one day in their chosen industry-vertical. Particular exhibition days cannot be requested

Startups must complete the 'Partner Startup form'. This form has a set of specific questions which will assist in deciding the correct track your Startup will exhibit at our event. If approved, they will be assigned to the relevant track (ALPHA or BETA.)

Startups must abide by the following requirements to be accepted:

• ALPHA – To qualify for the ALPHA track typically, the Startup can not have raised no more than US$1 million in funding
