No hard sell — just straight answers
SESSION AGENDA
What We'll Walk You Through
A focused, no-fluff look at the programme — and plenty of time for your questions at the end.
01
What Speed2Seed Actually Is
The 14-week structure, the dual demo day model, and how we're genuinely different from traditional accelerators — including the zero-equity, zero-fee model.
02
Version 1 Development
The kind of founder who thrives in the programme — and who might not be the right fit just yet. We'd rather you know upfront than find out during Week 6.
03
Product-Market Fit Optimization
From early customer discovery and your Angel Demo Day in Week 2, through to Version 1 launch and your Seed Demo Day at Week 14. Week by week.
04
Seed Readiness
Open Q&A with the programme team. Bring your real questions — we'll give you straight answers, not rehearsed talking points.
WHY IT'S WORTH YOUR TIME
An hour now can save you months of uncertainty later.
Most people who join Speed2Seed wished they'd asked more questions before applying — not after. This session exists so you can make a properly informed decision.
Get the full picture before you apply
The programme requires 15–20 hours a week for 14 weeks. That's a real commitment. We'd rather you come in fully informed than apply and discover it's not quite what you expected.
Ask anything, directly
No canned answers. Bring your real questions — about the programme, the equity model, the validation process, investor access — and get straight answers from the people actually running things.
Find out if your idea qualifies
Not sure if your HealthTech or FinTech idea is ready? We'll talk through what we look for and how to assess your own readiness — so you're not applying in the dark.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
In Case You Haven't Heard of Us
Speed2Seed is a 14-week startup accelerator programme for HealthTech and FinTech founders. We take zero equity and charge no programme fees. Instead, we give you the validation framework, technical execution support, and investor access you need to go from idea to fundable venture — fast.
Our dual demo day model means you're pitching to angel investors at Week 2 (for $50K–$200K in pre-seed funding) and to seed-stage VCs at Week 14 (for $500K–$3M). The programme runs in Manila, with cohorts launching in Seattle, London, and Singapore.

FAQ
A Few Quick Answers
More questions? Bring them to the session — that's what it's for.
Is the info session really free?
Yes, completely. No fees, no obligation to apply afterwards, and no hard sell during the session. It's genuinely just a chance to learn more and ask questions.
Will the session be recorded?
Yes. A recording will be shared with all registered attendees within 48 hours of the session, so you won't miss anything even if something comes up on the day.
I can't make it — can I still register?
Absolutely. Register and we'll send you the recording plus details of the next info session. You're not committing to anything by registering.
Do I need to have a business idea already?
Not necessarily. During the session we'll talk through what kinds of ideas are a good fit and how to assess your own readiness. If you're still exploring, you're welcome — that's exactly why this session exists. You can also browse our HealthTech startup ideas repository if you're looking for inspiration.
What's the difference between the info session and applying?
The info session is just for learning more — no commitment required. Applying is a completely separate step with its own process and timeline. We'll explain everything you'd need to know about applying during the session itself.
When does the next cohort start?
Manila HealthTech Cohort 1 starts on 14 March 2026. Future cohorts are planned for Seattle, London, and Singapore. We'll share the full cohort calendar during the session.
I'm not a technical founder — is Speed2Seed still for me?
Yes. You don't need any coding or technical background. The programme is specifically designed for domain experts — doctors, nurses, bankers, financial professionals — who understand the problem deeply but need help with the build. That's exactly what Xamun's xDD platform is for.
