FAQs
Do you guarantee that I will receive an investment?
No, we don't.
Do you guarantee me a slot in a monthly investment committee?
We do not guarantee you will get a slot in the Investment Committees. Only startups that we think are ready for investment will be selected. If you are not at that stage we will continuously support you and provide you feedback so that you get to that point. Getting to the Investment Committee is a big milestone which takes a lot of iterations and work.
Who is tooearly academy for exactly?
For aspiring entrepreneurs who do not have any experience in starting a tech company.
Should I sign up if I don’t have a co-founder?
Yes. Many VCs do not invest in single-founder companies. That's why we will help you connect with the right people inside and outside the community and once we have enough members- host co-founder dating events.
Should I sign up if I have a job?
Yes. The resources are self-paced and every live event will be recorded and uploaded to the resource library.
If I don’t have a startup idea, should I sign up?
Yes. Ideation courses help you understand the reasons why you want to be a founder in the first place and weekly Q&As are an excellent place to get immediate feedback. Besides that, you might team up with someone from the community who already has an idea and you will get to work on it together.
Do you offer refunds?
