FAQs

The programme is divided into 2 main phases. The first one is called Opportunity Validation during which the scientist will try to identify possible market applications of their technologies. The second phase is called Business Validation, in which entrepreneurs will work together with scientists in order to consolidate their business idea into a marketable product. Those teams, who will successfully pass this stage, will incorporate their startups and enter The Collider portfolio for further growth opportunities.
This is NOT a regular paid job offer, but an opportunity to found your own deep-tech company. Only the teams that successfully pass the programme’s first phase, will be incorporated into a startup and receive a salary at their own discretion. The actual value for participants comes in form of company ownership.
We are looking for senior entrepreneurs (5-10 years) eager to tackle a new project with outstanding organizational, leadership and problem-solving skills. Also holding several years of experience in business development and team leadership.
The Investment Committee takes place at the end of the programme and is formed of external and internal sectorial specialists. They will hear all project pitches and decide which ones will set up their startups and will move to The Collider´s portfolio.
All teams endorsed by the Investment Committee will receive 50.000€, as a participative loan, to face incorporation and execute their industry pilots.
As part of The Collider, all participants will receive a free full pass to 4YFN and entry on the last day to the Mobile World Congress. We encourage teams to take this opportunity to arrange as many meetings possible to prove the industry’s interest in their solution.
All startups that fulfill the whole programme, become part of The Collider’s portfolio, enjoying a wide range of benefits including office space and access to the Mobile World Capital’s network of corporations, investors and experts.
