common questions

  • why are you called the tech bros?

    It's a tongue-in-cheek name. Our community of technical women love it, and that's who we're here for.

  • am I eligible?

    All-female founding teams where everyone has a STEM background are invited to apply.

  • do I need a co-founder?

    We don’t do any co-founder matching on the programme. You can apply as a solo founder, but we recommend applying in a team of two if possible.

  • do I need to be working on my startup full-time?

    Yes. Everyone accepted onto the accelerator must be working on their startup full-time.

  • do I need to be based anywhere specific?

    No. We accept applications globally.
