<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️ Does every team member need to participate in all aspects of the program?

</aside>

💬 While we recommend full participation in all programs, including education, coaching, and evaluation, if it's difficult, a minimum of one person can participate :) The participant can then share the information with the rest of the team. Especially in early April, when the schedule is tight, we recommend arranging in advance to ensure at least one person can participate.

<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️ We are a very early-stage startup team at the idea phase. Will we be significantly different from other participating teams?

</aside>

💬 In fact, many of the past winning teams of E*5 KAIST participated at a very early stage, with just a team formed or a simple idea 😃 And not all of them won with their initial items!

• E5 KAIST is a program that supports participants in becoming successful next-generation unicorn startups, offering mentoring from renowned VCs and dedicated coaching from experienced entrepreneurs, even if they have no prior startup experience. Don't hesitate if you have a team capable of executing what might seem like an impossible idea! The opportunity to become a successful startup through E5 is always open :)

<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️ I'm curious about how the program is conducted.

</aside>

💬 The program operates on a mission basis. Teams selected through document evaluation will participate in the first mission starting April 2 (Tuesday), with teams for the second mission selected through evaluation. (Individual notifications for each team)

The second mission runs from April 9 (Tuesday) to April 30 (Tuesday), approximately one month, with teams for the third mission selected likewise through evaluation.

💁🏻‍♀️ Education, mentoring, and coaching are conducted for each mission.

<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️ Is it difficult to participate if our corporation has been established for more than 2 years?

</aside>

💬 E*5 is primarily a program to support the entrepreneurship of prospective/early-stage startup teams, so participation is not possible for representatives already successfully running a corporation.

<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️ If there is support funding, how much is it?

</aside>

💬 The top 3 teams with outstanding performance in each mission will be awarded 300,000/500,000/1,000,000 KRW, respectively. (3 teams per track) So, a team that ranks first in all three missions can receive a total of 3 million KRW 🙂

• The top 3 teams with outstanding performance in the third mission will earn the right to compete in the E*5 KAIST final Demo Day, where the prizes are (1st place) 20 million KRW, (2nd place) 10 million KRW, (3rd place) 5 million KRW.

<aside> 💁🏻‍♀️  I would like to meet other participating teams; will there be any offline events?
