Do you have EdTech, HealthTech, or AI startups and are you ready to attract investment, refine your product, and scale up?
We invite you to join the Challenger Accelerator on an equity-free basis by 20 December 2025. Participants can expect an intensive programme, a hybrid format (January to April 2026), and a Demo Day.
Among the advantages:
- $25K grant from UMAEF for the winner;
- $75K + cloud service credits from USF for the top 3 teams, plus additional partner benefits;
- A trip to Latitude59 for standout startups;
- 30+ hours of 1:1 mentorship from top business and technical experts;
- 15+ hours of hands-on workshops on product-market fit, investment readiness, marketing, sales, and more.
Following the programme, participants will benefit from networking, community events, and post-accelerator support.
Please note that the startup must have a team of at least 2 people and a product at the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage. Specifically, having your first clients or market validation will be considered an advantage.
