The project is now receiving applications from 1,000 start-ups that have been in operation for less than three (3) years. From the 1,000 applicants, 100 will be selected and given a four-week marathon training on entrepreneurship, technology, sales, start-up management, business management and communication and ultimately provide mentorship and seed capital for the top 20 participants who will become cloud-based business owners.
