As part of the program, Nest and/or Bangkok Bank will sign an agreement with you that gives us the opportunity to invest in your company at the conclusion of the program. The terms of this agreement will be negotiated on a case by case basis and will always be based on a mutually agreed valuation. We will not take a fixed equity percentage upfront, instead we will work with you to determine a valuation that you are comfortable with and which appropriately captures your stage of development. Nest and/or Bangkok Bank will only invest if at the end of the program, we jointly feel that we can add significant value to your business. Regardless, we aim to understand the type of support you need and we strive to provide that support through introductions to investors and partners in our network during and after the conclusion of the program.

You’ll have the opportunity to showcase your products and services at Demo Day, where a range of potential investors, which may include venture capitalists and influential industry leaders, will see your proposition and listen to your pitch. Nest will maintain an ongoing relationship with the founders and continue making introductions to investors and VCs after the program ends.

You will be working in the heart of Bangkok at a location provided by Bangkok Bank. You will be working alongside the other selected teams, and will be in close contact with the mentors and champions of the program.

Yes, the program will arrange and cover your accommodation costs for the duration of the program, as well as one set of return flights to and from your home country.

We recommend that you’re on-site as much as possible during the program. The more immersed you are, the more you’ll gain.  There will be 2 weeks of virtual engagement and 2 weeks holiday for Christmas and New Year (optional).

Anyone from anywhere can apply. If you’re accepted, you’ll need to have a legal right to be in Thailand. Bangkok Bank will help with obtaining SMART VISA for successful companies.  We encourage you to start this process as early as possible once you’ve been accepted into the program.
