The process
No hidden stages. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you submit the form.
One form. Who you are, what you're building, why now. Rolling submissions.
Our team screens each one by hand. We look for builders who ship, not decks that promise.
We send the steps to generate it, and you see it instantly on our platform: how you read on clarity, traction, team and pitch — plus the one signal that will move your score the most.
If you're selected, you pitch on Zoom or Google Meet. Real conversation, real questions, no panel theatre.
Shortly after the live pitch we tell you whether you're in the edition starting 21 October 2026. A short form secures your place: 10 days, pre-events included, no equity, no strings.
Unicorn founders and large-exit operators review your pitch. Full written feedback lands at the end of the 10 days, once you've shared yours.
Some advisors will want to mentor you; some may offer to invest. 1:1 meetings are facilitated at the cohort stage, which requires an agreement with soonami.
Who gives the feedback
They aren't speakers. They've founded, scaled or exited at unicorn level — and they review your pitch directly.

After the 10 days
soonami backs early-stage Web3 and AI ventures through a twelve-week cohort program ending in Demo Day. It's a separate, optional step — and the only stage where 1:1 advisor meetings are facilitated.
Twelve-week cohort program for early-stage Web3 and AI ventures, ending in Demo Day.
Selected teams receive 100,000 platform credits on signing — usable immediately across the Foundance ecosystem, with no expiry.
In exchange for a 2% stake, calculated on a fully diluted basis at signing.
Credits are what you use to book 1:1 meetings with advisors.
For German UG ventures, we cover the notary costs.
Questions
Applications are screened on a rolling basis. One form is all it takes to start.
