This is usually the case when the question is asking for a particular value type. Please read the question carefully and check if the answer field could be accepting specific value types only.

Example question:  “Please provide your phone number”
This field might only accept number inputs. Therefore you cannot enter a “+”, instead, you can only enter numbers such as “0027…”

Other input fields may only accept URLs, e-mail addresses, dates, addresses or text”

To apply for any program, you need to create a user account on VC4A. Click here to do so.

When this is done, you can log in, go to the program page you wish to apply for and click on the “apply” button to start your application.

Some programs require for you to have a venture profile on VC4A too. If you don’t have a venture profile yet, click here, or go to your account and click on “add venture”.

Make sure you have filled in all the required input fields of the application. These are characterized by a red star. When you have done so, and you have agreed to the terms and conditions, you can submit your application by clicking the blue “Submit” button at the bottom of the page.
After you have submitted, you will receive a confirmation email.

First, check where the pitch deck has to be uploaded for this application.

• If it has to be uploaded on your venture profile
  1. Click here to visit your venture profile
  2. Scroll down to the “Seeking funding” section
  3. Select the “documents” tab and
  4. Click “Add a document” to upload your pitch deck.

• If it has to be uploaded within the applications form, make sure the file has the right format (usually PDF) and does not exceed the maximum file size of 10 MB. Now you can drag and drop the file into the upload field.

If you can’t find an application you have started in a previous session, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are logged in with the same account as when you started your application. Often we find that users have multiple accounts, as they create one by entering email address and a password etc. and later use the social media sign-in button and thereby creating a second account. So please, first double-check if you are logged in to the right user account.
2. Go to your user account and click on “My Applications” or follow this Link
   Now you should see all your applications and can click on “view” and then on “edit” to keep working on it and submit as you wish.
