This is the second batch that GnB Accelerator has accepted into its programme this year
GnB Accelerator programme announced the six startups that have been chosen as participants of its third batch, and that are set to take part in a three-month programme from September to November 2017. The six startups are Sticar, SimpliDots, Sistem Akademik (SIKAD), MedikaApp, PanenID, and Plomo.
Throughout the programme, each startup will receive an IDR666 million (US$50,000) investment, coworking space facility, and guidance from experienced mentors.
“We are proud and eager to start the GnB Accelerator programme for the third time … With the support of the global corporation ecosystem that we provide, [the startups] will have the opportunity to meet a network of investors and multinational corporations in various countries,” GnB Accelerator programme manager Kentaro Hashimoto said on Tuesday.
At the end of the programme, participants will take part in a demo day to present their products to potential investors. They will have the opportunity to raise funding. Once they have finished the programme, participants would still be allowed to ask for advice from GnB Accelerator, as the programme aims to continue on monitoring their progress.
