Minimum 2 members; Maximum 5 members.
At the Application Stage:
You only need to submit 2 names when you first apply. Your application only needs to have 2 founding members.
At the Qualifiers Stage:
If you are accepted to this stage, you still do not need your full team to move ahead and prepare your business proposal. You can change the names at any point in time
However, when you submit your final video pitch and pitch deck (Deadline: By 28 July), then you must have your full team. There can be no further changes to the team members.
Do read the process and timeline to get clarity about the process: whats-the-process-and-timeline
Team Requirement:
While there have been plenty of successful solo founders, it is so much harder to build a viable company by yourself. Moreover, convincing a co-founder to join you boosts your credibility, in terms of both the worthiness of your idea and your persuasion skills.
So, we require a min of 2 members, max 5.
Am I stuck with my team forever?
Not at all. Founding teams change all the time, especially within the first year. You can still change your team members all the way until you submit your final video pitch and pitch deck. From then, your members should be the same all the way up to the Semi-Finals and Finals.
