CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
No public acceptance rate is listed, but the process filters through an intake form, a fit check, and then a 1-on-1 conversation before any program offer.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so there is no single competitive cohort deadline, but you still pass through multiple screening stages. The source gives no data on how many startups are accepted per year.
WHAT IT TAKES
Fill out the short intake form with a business description and optional pitch deck — 30–60 minutes
Team does a quick fit check and contacts you if interested — A few days to weeks
1-on-1 conversation with StartLife team to determine program fit — 1 meeting
WORTH KNOWING
In your intake form, StartLife explicitly asks what makes your proposition innovative and unique—treat that field as your most important pitch point. You can also indicate interest in the €25K zero-equity, zero-fee pre-seed loan at the application stage.
