Are you looking for investment?

We are curious about you and your team!

Joining A-match doesn't just come with the possibility of funding. You will also gain lots of experience, contacts, and a useful pitch film that will live on long after the event. Businesses that have participated in the past have learned a lot before and during the pitch thanks to coaching. The experience that is gained is invaluable in the future when it comes to building a successful business.

Right now, you can apply to A-match. To do so we need to know more about you and your team, your business idea, and your ambitions going forward. Therefore, we would like you to record yourself answering a few questions. The film itself is not important, a mobile phone and a smile will do just fine.   


In the checklist you'll find information about the questions we want you to answer. So, get started, and don't forget to apply by September 7th!
 

Checklist: Video presentation

Practical matters

  • We want a simple video where you answer the questions below. Film yourself with your mobile.
  • Save your video using a storage service like Dropbox or OneDrive, or as an unlisted video on YouTube. Copy the link and paste it into the application form.
  • English or Swedish? Choose the language you feel most comfortable with.
  • The video will only be used internally by the assessment team when selecting the companies for pitching. Keep in mind that what is decisive is your glow, your commitment as well as the business idea itself rather than the picture quality of the film.
  • The video can be max 7 minutes long.
  • Write a short pitch (max 550 characters) and attach your logo to the application form.
  • If you’re accepted, the pitch and logo will be published on amatch.org.

We might take a business credit report and conduct a customer awareness survey of your company in connection with the assessment work.
