Good to know

+Real capital with no participation fee: 12,500 dollars up front plus up to 50,000 follow-on, four months of Vancouver workspace, weekly mentorship, a demo day and a San Francisco trip
+Unusually honest terms: they promise to match a higher valuation cap if you raise 100k or more within six months of graduating

Worth checking yourself

!The closing date could not be confirmed on the organisation's own pages. This listing shows no deadline, which does not mean applications are open indefinitely. Check the official page before you plan around it.
!THIS ROUND IS CLOSED. Applications are not currently open and no new date has been published by the organisation. Do not plan around this listing until it is confirmed reopened.
!Applications are closed, so ranking a record nobody can act on would be worse than removing it
!Not a grant. The 12,500 buys equity via a SAFE
!Requires relocating to Vancouver for four months at 30 or more hours a week
!This record was carrying Rolling, which was doubly wrong: not only is it not rolling, applications are not open at all
