Founders may complain that the application process for Startmate 2013 was tough, but really, it’s nothing compared to the hurdles some other startup incubators put you through.
My favourite question is this one, from the 32-questions-long application for the Singapor-based JFDI.Asia Accelerator program:
Approximately how many startup teams are there in the world who areas qualified or more qualified than your team to execute your idea? Assume that all those other startups are just as passionate and hardworking as you are. Give a rough answer, accurate to one or two significant digits.
…One or two significant digits?
