I’m a solo founder without a technical co-founder. Am I still eligible?

Yes. We assess whether the team can deliver on the solution, not whether it ticks a particular composition. Solo founders, non-technical founders, and small teams are all eligible. The Ignite cohort, with workshops, peer support and specialist office hours, is designed to compensate for capacity gaps that a small team faces. Similar for Propel, the venture-building will be tailored to support your needs.
