What is the most impressive thing each founder has achieved outside of your current startup?
If you have co-founders, please tell us about an interesting project, preferably outside of class or work, that two or more of you created together. Include urls if possible.
If you have co-founders, how long have the founders known each another and how did you meet? Have any of the founders not met in person?
If you do not have a Beta product yet, when will you?
If your idea is the type that faces a chicken-and-egg problem in the sense that it won't be attractive to users till it has a lot of users (e.g. a marketplace, a dating site, an ad network), how will you overcome that?
Please list the percent of the company owned by each founder and any other shareholders. If you haven't incorporated yet, tell us what percent you plan to have for each founder.
If your company is already incorporated, please tell us where.
If you get funded after graduating the Bitcoin Startup Program, which of the founders will commit to working exclusively (no school, no other jobs) on this project for the next year?
For founders who can't, why not? What level of commitment are they willing to make?
Do any founders have other commitments during the period of the program?
Do any founders have commitments in the future (e.g. finishing college, going to grad school), and if so what?
Are any of the founders covered by non-competes or intellectual property agreements that overlap with your project? Will any be working as employees or consultants for anyone else?
If you have code, was any of your code written by someone who is not one of your founders? If so, how can you safely use it? (Open source is ok of course.)
Are any of the following true?
There is only one founder.
A founder is a student who may return to school when the next term starts.
One or more founders will keep their current jobs.
None of the founders are programmers.
If you had any other ideas you considered applying with, please list them. One may be something we've been waiting for. Often when we fund people it's to do something they list here and not in the main application.
