Lisbon Challenge Spring’14 rocks the startup stage for a second edition. After the success of LC’13 and thanks to the support of the challengers alumni we are now prepared for a redesigned edition of our 3-month acceleration program. The main suspects on the part of the organizing team are almost all back on track. Part of them were lost in the battle for fame and glory but they should know that we keep them dear in our hearts and minds (Petko Anchev, that one goes for you as well!).

As a first blog post, we are keeping a low profile on serious technicalities and would just like to give all of you a warm welcome and to invite you to send us your applications as soon as possible. Early Birds as always get tons of free mover advantages, which this year include perks from Amazon and Google and the opportunity to pitch their idea at the Axes Forum in Paris. So use your overexcitement to enter a workaholic mode, brainstorm a winning idea, gather a team and share it with us!

Now, let’s leave you with some final remarks on what you should actually expect from LC Spring’14. We will introduce you to a network of 200 mentors and investors and take zero equity. We will take you (and ourselves hopefully) on an international roadshow to pitch to investors in Boston, Sao Paulo and London. We give you three months of extreme acceleration, which some will not survive. We will help you relocate, welcome you in Lisbon and make sure you have a memorable experience.

Apply now! See you soon
