Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
Anyone 18+ who is a citizen of a CARICOM member country and has validated their idea and is ready to build an MVP.
LaunchPad (Track 1) is for early-stage entrepreneurs validating their ideas. Rocketship (Track 2) is for founders who have already validated their problem and are ready to build and refine their MVP.
No. Rocketship is hybrid - in-person participation is available for those in Saint Lucia, while participants outside Saint Lucia can join virtually.
Not necessarily, but at least one founder must actively participate throughout the program.
You should have moved beyond the idea stage, validated your problem or demonstrated strong indicators of demand, and be ready to build or refine an MVP.
No. This program is completely FREE of charge thanks to our partners.
Rocketship does not guarantee investment or funding. However, the program prepares you for growth and post-accelerator pathways including potential funding opportunities.
If you're still brainstorming or at the validation-only stage, we recommend LaunchPad (CaribEquity Track 1 – applications open in July).
