YOUR REAL ODDS

Flat6Labs is one of the most active accelerators in the region, running many concurrent programs, but each cohort is selective.

With programs active across 11 countries and multiple industry-specific tracks, there are frequent application windows. Competition is real — each cohort is curated — but the volume of programs increases your chances of finding a relevant fit.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Identify the right country and program for your startup — 1–2 hours

  2. Submit an application via flat6labs.com for the relevant open program — 2–5 hours

  3. Go through selection process (review, interviews, cohort selection) — 2–6 weeks

WORTH KNOWING

Flat6Labs runs both general seed programs and niche tracks (fintech, agritech, proptech, green economy) — applying to a themed program that matches your industry likely improves your odds over a general cohort.
