• 1K euros/ month/member (for a three month period) - During this period you can continue with your existing job/other assignments
• After three months, if you’ve shown progress depending on feedback given to you, you will be taken to the Investment Committee
• If the committee approves, you’re granted $125k from the soonami ecosystem. At this stage you need to give your startup full-time commitment.
