ApplySeed

ApplySeed is built on a narrow and real complaint: accelerator applications ask the same questions in different words, and a founder retypes the same answers for every programme. It takes a startup's information once — from a pitch deck, from notes, or from text the founder already has — builds one profile, identifies what is missing from it, and then fills each programme's form with the answers adapted to how that programme asks. A browser extension populates the forms on the programmes' own sites. The founder reviews and submits every application themselves; nothing is sent automatically, which matters for a document a person will be held to in an interview. The company's stated argument for accelerators over investors is that a programme gives a clear yes or no rather than an open-ended conversation. It covers 117 programmes, with funding cheques described as reaching $15M. The free tier is stated as "€0 forever" with two applications a month across all 117 programmes, and Pro is $29 a month for twenty applications, cancellable. This was its first launch.
