Elev X! Ignite Venture Studio Program Batch 15 Requirements
They’re looking for ambitious, hands-on founders who are ready to explore bold ideas and rapidly test early-stage solutions with our support. Ideal applicants:
- Are working as a team — or in the process of forming one
Solo founders are welcome, but we strongly encourage having at least one co-founder or core collaborator to share the journey.
- Can build and test lightweight prototypes
A formal engineering background isn’t required, but we look for builder-type founders who can write code, use no-code tools, or create functional demos independently.
- Are based in the U.S. and incorporated as a U.S. entity
If you’re not yet incorporated at the time of application, you must incorporate before the start of Phase 2 (September, 2025).
- Are not required to be generating revenue or raising capital
We’re focused on early-stage ideas — traction is a bonus, not a prerequisite.
Application Date and Process
- Application period: Oct 27, 2025 - Dec 20, 2025, 11:59 pm (Pacific Time)
- The application typically takes around 30 minutes to complete if you already have a pitch deck.
