Our Collaboration Process:
Application
If you’re interested in a popup opportunity, we ask that you reach out and include either of the following in your application:
✅ Business plan
✅ Business model canvas
✅ Concept description
🧑🤝🧑 Your contact info
🎯 Your objective/ Goals
For our follow up meeting, also be prepared to present;
✅ Financial reports from previous ventures or accomplishments (if available)
✅ CV, references
✅ Marketing / Brand materials (if available)
The requested materials enable us to assess your vision, strategy, industry understanding, financial stability, suitability, expertise, and market positioning as well as the general status of the project that will determine the scope of our collaboration. This knowledge will also assist us in our vetting process to ensure that we can align as future business partners.
Partner Compatibility
Compatibility with our popup partner is of the utmost importance to us. We evaluate potential business partners based on these criteria:
Reputation
Stability
Experience
Goals for the project
Communication & Collaboration
Commitment
Execution capability
This objective of this evaluation is to be able to compare applicants to each other and to adress any potential challenges that we will face in working together in an early stage.
We may also ask peers in our network such as past collaborators, industry leaders, investors and business development experts to assist in vetting and evaluation before making our commitment
