The entire process of selecting Applications submitted for the Accelerator includes three stages: (1) initial assessment of compliance with the Accelerator requirements (screening); (2) rating-based selection / detailed evaluation (scoring) by the Organizer and Experts invited by the Organizer; (3) final desktop selection by the Organizer.
The purpose of the initial assessment of Applications (screening) is to identify whether an Application meets the requirements outlined in Clauses 5.2 and 5.3 of this Regulation, including with regard to the correct and thorough completion of the Application. The Organizer checks if all the necessary information in the questionnaire and appropriate attachments to the questionnaire have been provided. The focus of the screening process is to make sure that the Startup is relevant and the information provided in the Application is sufficient for its detailed evaluation at the next stages of review and evaluation of Startups.
The initial assessment relies on the information provided in the Application and/or acquired during the interview that the Organizer’s representatives may arrange with Applicants, at the Organizer’s option, via any video conference or telephone channel, including Skype, Zoom, etc., that allows personal interaction with the Applicant’s team.
The Application contains answers to the questions listed in the Organizer’s approved form, as well as any attachments to the questionnaire that enable the Organizer to make conclusions regarding:

If the information provided in the Application is incomplete, the Organizer’s representative may contact Applicant’s representative or any other individual identified in the Application as a point of contact to lean any information that may be missing at this stage.
If Applicant refuses to provide the missing information or the information provided is insufficient, or if the Organizer cannot contact Applicant using the provided contact details, the Application may be rejected at the Organizer’s sole discretion.
After the initial assessment, each Application may be:
1. Rejected at the Organizer’s sole discretion. A notice of rejection of the Application will be delivered to Applicant at Applicant’s e-mail address stated in the Application;
2. Handed over to Experts invited by the Organizer for a detailed evaluation.
Detailed evaluation of Startups (scoring) is carried out by Experts invited by the Organizer based on a number of established criteria. Each criterion is scored on a scale of 1 to 5:
1. Applicant’s team.
  Competence and technological / technical expertise of Applicant’s team members and founders; adequate level of the team with specified experience.
2. Solution’s value.
  Existing or potential value of Applicant’s product or service for the Organizer or the market in general, in Expert’s opinion.
3. Technology concept.
  Availability of technology in Startup; unique nature of Startup’s technology; complications with replication of the technology, or availability of a better technology on the market that other market players or competitors use; innovative component of the technology; technological feasibility of Startup.
4. Scalability.
  Potential for technological feasibility of Startup and its scalability on the market or commercialization by the Organizer.
5. Market.
