How to apply to Seedstars, step by step

  1. Step 1

    Check that you fit

    Seedstars backs pre-seed and seed startups. Make sure your stage, sector and location match before you spend time on the form.

  2. Step 2

    Read every question before writing

    Open the official form and list every question first — several usually overlap, and you want each answer to add something new.

  3. Step 3

    Draft from what you already have

    Pull your one-liner, traction, team and market from your deck or notes. Applyseed turns one startup profile into a draft for every question, within each limit.

  4. Step 4

    Cut to the limits and make it specific

    Replace adjectives with numbers: users, revenue, growth rate, time to build. Reviewers read thousands of applications — concrete beats clever.

  5. Step 5

    Submit on the official site

    Paste your answers into the Seedstars form and submit it yourself.
