Complete and submit the application form if your startup meets all of the basic criteria below:

  • The startup is a technology or technology enabled solution

  • The startup has commercial traction in terms of revenues and/or number of users
  • The startup has more than one full time team member
  • The startup has already raised an initial round of funding

Please make sure that the above areas are applicable to your startup. If not, we encourage you to apply to us in the future.

You will receive an email confirming receipt of your application. We receive many applications, and work hard to review them in a timely manner.

A screening committee reviews all applications and conducts meetings with the shortlisted startups. You will receive an email to schedule a meeting if your startup is shortlisted. If successful, you will be invited to a DTA pitch night.

Our pitch nights are usually held every month and are attended by DTA Partners and other regional angel investors.

All startups selected to pitch to DTA will receive an invitation to a pitch night. Each team will be given 15 minutes to present which will be followed by a Q&A session led by DTA Partners. All startups pitching to DTA will be informed of the decision within 24 hours of pitching.

Once approved from the pitch stage, a due diligence committee will conduct a deep dive into the business. This process takes 2-4 weeks and is dependent on the startup’s ability to provide the required information.

Based on the due diligence committee’s recommendation, DTA’s investment committee makes the final investment decision.
