Amount

GIVEN: DSV recruits scientists as Founders-in-Residence on a paid basis (a salary during the venture creation period, not a grant to an existing company) and then capitalises the companies it forms. TAKEN: a founding equity stake in the new company - DSV is a co-founder, not a passive investor, so its stake is materially larger than a typical accelerator's. Exact salary and equity split are set per programme and sector.

You must co-fund 0%.

Who can apply

For individual scientists and technologists, typically post-PhD, willing to start a new company from a DSV-defined problem area rather than bring their own existing venture.
