They offer 15K expenses coverage and 6-months free of charge office spaces in Zurich.

F10 seeks for startups that 1) have a relevant solution for the Acceleration challenges they have announced, 2) a proven solution with validated user need and clear value proposition, 3) 1 paying costumer and have raised more than 500k in funds.

In addition, there are several Acceleration challenges so that startups can choose the one that best fits their interests. Some of them are related to wealth and asset management, sustainable investing, financial well-being, digital tools and services, among others. But there are also incubators programs for startups.

Application process

In May, F10 announces the acceleration challenges and then the startups who have a relevant solution can apply. After the deadline, they will receive an update whether they made it to the next round or not. If they make it to the next round, F10 will invite the selected startups to an online interview with the F10 and the respective corporate representatives.

The process opens twice per year, in spring (May-June) and in fall again (September-March), so it is important to pay attention to their webpage.
