Here’s everything you might be wondering about JSS.
Does the program fee include accommodation or living expenses?
Our fee does not cover lodging or daily living costs, except for daily lunch. However, we’re happy to help you navigate accommodation options, transportation, and any related logistical challenges.
What does the 3-month follow-up support involve?
After the core program, you’ll receive structured online support alongside our facilitators (Startup Buddies, Co-Builders) and Industry Mentors/Advisors. Main activities include:
- Weekly goal-setting & execution planning sessions: A video call each week to set priorities, break down tasks, and review progress.
- Daily stand-ups: A brief check-in to share what you worked on yesterday, today’s focus, and any blockers. - Office hours with Industry Mentors/Advisors: Scheduled slots where you can discuss specific challenges, ask questions, or get feedback on your startup ideas or deliverables.
What is the application process?
There are three steps:
- Registration form: Complete our online form with your project idea and motivation.
- Online interview (30 minutes): If your application aligns with our criteria, we’ll invite you to a brief video call to understand your goals, fit, and readiness.
- Acceptance & onboarding: Successful applicants receive confirmation and next steps to join Junior Startup School. You’ll get all materials, schedule, and access details before the program starts.
Can I apply as part of a team?
Absolutely. Each team member should submit the registration form individually. If your collective application advances to the interview stage, we’ll invite all team members to participate in a joint meeting.
