What are the next steps once I submit my application? How does the startup selection process work?
Once you submit your application, your documents will be reviewed by the DB mindbox team. You may be asked to provide additional documents.
DB mindbox and the DB business units will then coordinate and select the most suitable startups based on the specific program or challenge requirements and will invite these startups to a pitch event.
Teams that are not selected can choose to be added to our database and may be contacted again for possible future programs or challenges.
Startups and their solutions will be evaluated by a jury of experts at the pitch event.
Startups that can win over the jury will then sign a contract for the program or challenge. You will then receive the award money and access to everything DB mindbox has to offer.
