- You need mentorship, validation, and early-stage structure.
- You can explain the customer problem, market, and why now.
What to prepare before applying
- A specific customer segment.
- Evidence that the problem is painful enough.
- A first product or service hypothesis.
- A realistic plan for validation, not just product build.
