Systematically apply to accelerators and startup programs like Runway's Builders program while tracking acceptance rates and program outcomes.

Workflow Steps

1

Airtable

Build accelerator database

Create a comprehensive database of startup accelerators, incubators, and programs like Runway's Builders program. Include application deadlines, requirements, focus areas (AI, video tech, etc.), funding amounts, and program benefits. Filter by your startup's stage and industry fit.

2

Zapier

Automate application reminders

Set up automated workflows that send Slack notifications or calendar reminders when application deadlines approach. Create triggers based on your Airtable deadline dates, and automatically update application status as you progress through each program's process.

3

Google Sheets

Track success metrics and ROI

Connect your Airtable database to a Google Sheet that calculates application success rates, time invested per program, and potential ROI. Track which types of programs accept your AI startup most often, and optimize future applications based on this data.
