Selection process
Every application first passes an eligibility screen. The check is specific: does the startup hold a signed term sheet from a lead investor who qualifies, and does the venture clearly belong to either the DeepTech or the Community-Based category?
Shortlisted applicants then move into a rapid due diligence stage. It is lighter than a typical investor review because the lead investor has already validated and priced the deal. The work at this stage centres on three things:
- Confirming the terms of the lead investment.
- Assessing the strength of the technology or solution.
- Checking strategic fit with ACIC-VGU's objectives.
The final decision rests with the Investment Committee, which weighs the startup's overall potential together with the terms the lead investor has already set.
