Question 3

Is there a fee to apply?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Our application is free and through our website.

Question 4

Should I have a project idea before joining?

Accepted Answer

In our accelerator program, having a viable Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is crucial for startup success. We seek founders who have developed MVPs that showcase their innovative solutions and demonstrate early market validation or traction.
 Founders with viable MVPs have a clear understanding of their product's value proposition and its potential for scalability. At our accelerator, we provide the mentorship and resources necessary for founders to further develop and scale their MVPs, setting them on a path towards sustainable growth and success in their target markets.

Question 5

What kinds of companies should apply?

Accepted Answer

The International Accelerator is sector-agnostic and selects companies based on the strength and dedication of the executive team and the global potential of their product.

Question 6

If my home-base is outside the US, do I need to leave the US after I finish your program?

Accepted Answer

Nope. We purposefully select entrepreneurs who want to scale their business in the US and are committed to staying in the US beyond the IA program duration. We partner with the best immigration attorneys in Austin to help you obtain the most appropriate visa.

Question 7

Why is your program 6 months long?

Accepted Answer

If you’re a foreign-based startup, you need the first couple of weeks to deal with legal, immigration, relocating to Austin, and navigating a brand new market. It also takes some settling in when you uproot yourself and move to a new country. We want to make sure you have enough time to make significant strides and to realize the full benefits of the IA program.
