Application Info:
- The Consensys fellowship application consists of three main parts:
- Part1: Basic information about you (3-5 mins)
- Part2: Information about your company (30-45 mins)
- Part3: Pitch Deck & Team Video
- Submitting multiple applications does not increase your chances of acceptance, so take the time upfront to concisely communicate why your team is the best to build this product & startup, your growth strategy, and why your company is the best fit for this pre-accelerator.
Application Tips/Guide:
- Please ensure to use an email address you use and check often so we can send you critical application updates.
- Team Video: When we ask for your team video, we really want to know about your team. Who you are, how you met, how long you’ve worked together, why you’re awesome. We’re looking to hear your story. And don’t forget, show some personality and make it personal! This is the most important element of the application. Keep it simple: be yourself, don’t read your pitch from a screen, and don’t worry about high-quality production.
- Demo Video: The Demo Video doesn’t need to be super polished, be honest, demonstrate what you actually have, show us the product, give us a simple walkthrough! We prefer a crappy product demo with an ugly UI 100x more than a marketing video.”
