By application and approval

Participation starts with mandate fit.

CVCVC brings corporate priorities and investor-led recommendations together. Selected startups can also participate directly when their capabilities align with a relevant corporate mandate.

Create your startup account in the portal, confirm your email and complete your company application. CVCVC reviews your readiness and corporate fit before payment is available.

Company and investor participation

Apply directly or work with your VC.

Direct startup membership

Founders and authorized representatives apply through the portal. Approval and an active company membership are required to access member mandates and respond directly. Registration alone does not unlock these features.

VC-led recommendations

A VC member can recommend a portfolio company against a specific mandate, with the company’s permission. No separate startup membership is required solely to participate in that VC-led introduction.

The recommending investor is identified. Their continued involvement is agreed with the company and the other participants.

Before you apply.

Who should apply?

Startups and growth companies with a defined product, evidence of pilot or customer readiness and a clear corporate use case. CVCVC reviews product readiness, customer evidence, corporate fit, team capability and delivery readiness.

Do we need an invitation or a VC investor?

No. You can apply directly for consideration. Participation requires approval. If a VC member is already recommending your company, coordinate with them through the nomination route.

Where do we register and submit our application?

Create your account on the startup signup page, confirm your email and complete your application in the portal. All account setup, application review and membership billing take place there.

Does creating an account provide mandate access?

Your account lets you complete and follow your application. Access to member mandates and direct responses requires both approval and an active paid company membership.

When do we pay?

There is no charge to apply. After approval, direct startup membership is US$599 per company per year after approval, billed annually with your team included. Your account owner manages payment in portal billing. A company does not need a separate startup membership solely to participate in a VC-led introduction.

Does approval guarantee an introduction?

No. Corporate teams choose which opportunities to pursue. Approval does not guarantee a response, meeting, pilot, investment or commercial outcome.
