AGAPE STARTUP INITIATIVE
A little clarity before you begin.
Who can apply?
Aspiring entrepreneurs, students, innovators, early-stage startups and existing business founders across sectors can apply.
Do I need a registered company?
No. You can begin with an idea. Registration and other formalities may be discussed later if relevant.
Is funding guaranteed?
No. Submitting a proposal does not guarantee funding, support or a partnership. Every proposal is evaluated independently.
Is there a fixed funding amount?
There is no published fixed funding amount. Any potential investment is discussed privately based on the proposal and available resources.
Does Agape take ownership?
An equity partnership may be discussed where appropriate. No predetermined ownership percentage is required to apply.
Can I request mentoring instead?
Yes. You can request mentoring, technology support, business development or a discussion about what would help. Support is subject to evaluation.
Is there an application fee?
The portal does not collect any application payment. Contact the initiative if you receive a payment request claiming to be associated with your application.
Will my idea remain confidential?
Applications are not publicly displayed. Access is restricted as described in our privacy notice. Submission does not create an NDA. Avoid sharing highly sensitive trade secrets; a separate confidentiality agreement can be discussed where appropriate.
How long does evaluation take?
Timing depends on the proposal and review workload. Track your status in your founder workspace. No processing deadline is guaranteed.
Can I apply again?
Yes, you can submit another idea or a materially revised proposal. Clearly explain what has changed.
