Hi all, applications for round 1 closes today at 2359!Successful applicants will be notified via email latest by EOD tomorrow 15 December.

*? Atlas Incubator Requirement FAQs ?***

1️⃣ What if I'm travelling overseas on 16 December, or not able to make it for the physical round 2?

Not to worry, we have slots for a separate application process, just remember to indicate it in our application form, and reviews will be on a rolling basis.

2️⃣ Do I need a business idea prior to applying for the Atlas Incubator?

A business idea is not a necessary requirement, as our criteria primarily revolves around the individual. This keeps to our ethos of the fact that we don't just incubate ideas, we incubate people.

3️⃣ What if I want to apply with other people?

Each individual applicant would need to submit an application. For pre-formed teams, do note that applications are mutually exclusive (i.e. there are instances where we may accept one of your team members, but may not be all team members). Not to worry, if at least one of your team members is incubated, the entire business will be incubated as well.

4️⃣ Are there any fees to the Atlas Incubator program?

Absolutely not. There are no fees or equity fees to the Atlas Incubator, as it is fully funded by the Atlas Private Club and NES. This means you do not have to pay any program fees or give up any equity in your startup.

5️⃣ How will I know if I made it through round 1 of the applications?

As applications for round 1 closes on 14 December 2023, 2359 hours, successful applicants will be notified via email by 15 December 2023. Do note that if you are successful and you have indicated you are able to make it for the physical case, it will be held on 16 December, Saturday, 2pm in NUS; more details will be enclosed in the email.
