This program is for teams who can dedicate their time fully to their project. Many projects start as an “after office hours project” until the founders feel ready to take the leap to fully dedicate themselves to the project. If you are not at that point yet, keep working on your project and apply when you are ready. In the meantime please feel free to register at the @STRT Academy, which provides lots of startup development related educational material.

Yes. In this case we will require that you set up a Hungarian Kft, we will take care of the legal work and costs.

We invest in any company that is established in an EFTA member jurisdiction or in a US State.

We believe that teams always do better then individuals, no matter how talented they may be. Developing a new product where there is no proven path, you will need many skills and more then a pair of hands. Coming as a team shows that you are willing and can work as a team. Show us that there are more people then yourself who share your vision.

It is absolutely not necessary. Some teams prefer home office and you will need to do a lot of errands around your project, your potential customer, stakeholders anyway. It is a place which is at your disposal, and it is also an opportunity to connect with peers. We will require that your team show up in whole at the weekly stand ups.

This program is offline, so you will actually need to be in Budapest for this program. Our @STRT Academy provides online learning materials for teams who are looking for remote learning opportunities.

The language of the program is English. If you can read and understand English and join-in group discussions, you will be fine. You may want to use the time before the programme to catch up on your language skills.
