Leap Venture Academy Bootcamp Application

The Leap Venture Academy Bootcamp is a 4-day, virtual startup program for underrepresented pet care entrepreneurs working on an early stage idea or company. The immersive experience will include a variety of programming, ranging from workshops, 1:1 mentor office hours, and networking opportunities all geared towards helping early stage pet care startups achieve key milestones for their business. After reviewing the current investment climate, and the powerful platform Leap has provided founders in the past, it is both our honor and responsibility to elevate diverse voices and ideas in the pet care industry. Our third Bootcamp will focus on amplifying the ideas of startup CEOs and founders who identify as female and/or as a person of color. The goal of the Bootcamp is to help entrepreneurs in the pet care space build the necessary skills and connections needed to successfully bring their product to market, and find early market validation and traction. By the end of the week, each entrepreneur will have reviewed and received feedback on their business plan from peers, instructors, seasoned pet care professionals, and investors. Any pet care startup with a CEO or founder that identifies as female and/or as a person of color is eligible to apply from around the world. The startup must also have less than $500,000 in total investment or revenue. Please Note: - Filling out this form does not guarantee you a spot in the Bootcamp. A selection committee will invite a select group of startups to participate. - If you are selected, you will need to be available to participate in all 4 days of programming from September 21st to 24th. We are aiming to make selection announcements by the end of August. Deadline to apply is Sunday, August 15th by midnight PT.
