Eligibility
Collective’s 12-week incubator program develops idea and pre-seed stage startups, through a global platform for media innovation.
- Startups must be a for-profit enterprise
- Startups must be tech or tech-enabled (Which are you?)
- Tech or tech-enabled businesses scale media through technology. In addition to traditional “tech” businesses, this includes startups selling physical products that they have designed and developed.
- We are media industry-specific, and accept companies working in advertising & marketing, film, video, VR/AR, PR & news media, publishing, video games, sound, music, podcasts, and radio.
- Service-related businesses (ex. a marketing consultancy or web development shop) are not a good fit for our program.
The ideal founder is a high-potential entrepreneur interested validating, incorporating, and developing their idea within and among professionals in the same industry.
- Is this an opportunity in the economy?
- Will your solution work as a business?
- Is the business model viable?
- Are you aware of the competition and is it meaningful?
- Do you or your team have the experience and skillsets to execute on the opportunity?
