Venture Building
COHORT SDTA24
Pre-programme
Hackathon
Get to know new co-founders and work on preliminary business cases to get a taste of the programme.
Unlike the traditional “Hackathon”, we provide readily-sourced technologies and use cases from our Corporate Partners for you in each SDTA Venture.
Form a co-founding team for a SDTA Venture and work with our Research Partners to experiment with how the technology can be applied to solve real-world problems.
Technology & Use Case Sourcing
We source for technologies from our Research Partners coupled with use cases from our Corporate Partners 6 months before founders join an SDTA Venture.
Technologies will be put through our tech due diligence framework and pass our Scientific Committee assessment before being selected for an upcoming cohort.
Starting with problem statements and technology stacks of our Corporate Partners, use cases are then scoped by us for each SDTA Venture.
Programme
The 9-month venture building programme is divided into 3 phases.
Each phase is structured with deliverables based on technology application research, product development, market research, team development & partnership acquisition.
Phase 1
Founders who have been offered a place in a SDTA cohort are matched together to work on SDTA Ventures.
Team Formation
Phase 2
POC Development
Venture Teams co-develop Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs) with Corporate Partners and commence technology commercialisation with Research Partners, facilitated by SDTA.
Phase 3
Congrats to the Venture Teams who get to the final sprint. Teams present their SDTA Ventures at Demo Day and commence fundraising, productisation and/or go-to-market with our Corporate Partners
