Frequently asked questions
Our programs are designed such that towards the end of each program, the most promising teams will pitch in front of the BFG investment committee.
Among the successful teams, BFG will select teams to assist with €70,000 in cash contributions. In return, BFG gets around 3-10% in equity.
Not at all. BFG as an organization works completely remotely with team members from across the globe. We liaise with CEOs, project managers, and IT professionals worldwide. Therefore, we do not discriminate based on place of residence and your country of residence does not matter as long as it is planet Earth!
However, our expertise is clearly in Central Europe - with a concentration in D/A/CH countries - and therefore, we will have a slight preference towards this area. BUT! Excellence and great entrepreneurs will always find a solution.
No, you do not need to have an idea beforehand. This is an incubation program where we help you build a blockchain startup from scratch, including identifying and choosing the right ideas to build upon.
If you already have an idea, you can also onboard yourself with the idea and your team. You can use our workshops and mentorship as additional validation.
No, you do not need to have a technical background. We form startup teams consisting of one CEO and one CTO. However, everybody needs to understand blockchain at a solid level and have intermediate practical experience. It is very important to understand that BFG Superstars is not there to educate you. We are not a university or research institute. Rather, we want to build companies that are ready to be funded by investors.
We are looking for the most promising blockchain talents twice a year:
Spring cohort application phase: December - February
