How the application really works
The current call is closed. Selection uses written application and diligence; await the next dated Camp thesis.
Tips
- Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
- State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
- Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.
Watch out for
- Up to $250k Betaworks investment via uncapped SAFE with 25% discount plus 5% common; optional syndicate up to another $250k on the SAFE.
