We’ve been there, heard the doubters, we speak your language. Funding the curiously brave to help you on your journey.
The application process is open to all. The focus is on small teams, less on individuals. The idea must be something your team have worked on for a little while. Importantly, at a stage where we can test it, touch it, smell it - something tangible, a demo, a prototype.
If we like your application. We’d invite you to Squid HQ to present your idea to the Squid8 Chiefs face to face, so prepare, you’ll have 90mins. The final phase will get a bit more serious, agreeing terms and fingers crossed signing you up.
Passion is everything, but we also want to see you’ve done your homework, demonstrate your expertise and deeper knowledge. We also want to check you’ve exhausted your own investment sources, and the commitment you’ve already made.

We hate to see good ideas lost, if we spot the right ingredients in you, we'll sprinkle on the Squid8 magic dust.
There is nothing more fulfilling in life than seeing a raw thought flourish in to an idea and grow to it's full potential.
A wise man once said "Creativity can change the world." I believe if it only changes the next person's mind, then it's valuable.
