How does it work?
Before being accepted to the Early Adopters Hub, each accountant must pass an evaluation process to ensure they are the right fit and understand the level of commitment required.
These are the main evaluation stages:
Initial review
Inital evaluation form and first call to establish interest in technology, previous work helping startups and willingness to prioritise and dedicate the necessary amount of time.
Secondary review
Two forms to evaluate the tech-savviness, tech stack sophistication and tech frustrations of the firm.
Onboarding
Upon being accepted, members are added to the closed Slack group and take part in regular welcome webinars.
Once members are part of the Early Adopters Hub they can take part in regular startup cohorts that are presented several times a year as well as regular member events.
Each cohort comprises 3-5 startups representing solutions for different market gaps or specialised industry apps. Programmes with each startup may vary depending on the stage they are at and whether the focus is on market research, product research or early adoption.
