What happens after I submit my application?
Once your application is submitted, our team will review it carefully. If your startup fits our criteria, you may be invited to pitch at one of our selection finals. From there, we select the startups we believe are ready for Sting Core — and notify all applicants of the outcome.
After you submit your application, our team carefully reviews all submissions. If your startup aligns with our selection criteria, you may be invited to move forward in the process.
The next steps typically include:
- Initial meetings with Sting coaches to dive deeper into your business
- A pitch final, where you’ll present to a jury made up of Sting coaches and investors from Propel Capital
- A team evaluation, where we explore founder dynamics, motivation, and readiness
This process isn’t just about us evaluating you — it’s also a chance for you to get to know Sting, our coaches, and the program, and decide whether we’re the right fit for your journey.
We aim to make the selection experience transparent, supportive, and valuable — even if you don’t end up joining the program this time.
