Applying as a partner organisation

BenefitStack partner accounts are designed for organisations that work with multiple startups or SMEs — accelerators, incubators, VC funds, and industry associations. As a partner you can onboard your entire portfolio, track their eligibility and application progress, and share a cohort view with your LPs or board.

Who qualifies as a partner

• Accelerators and incubators — programmes that work with cohorts of early-stage startups
• VC funds — investment vehicles with a portfolio of companies
• Industry associations — bodies representing a cluster of businesses in a specific sector or region
• Corporate innovation arms — internal units running startup or MSME development programmes

The application form

The partner application is at /partner/apply. You will need to provide:

• Organisation name — the legal name of your fund, programme, or association
• Organisation type — accelerator, incubator, VC fund, or industry association
• Contact name and email — the primary point of contact at your organisation
• Focus sectors — the sectors your portfolio companies typically operate in

Approval process

Partner applications are reviewed within 2–3 business days. Once approved, your account is activated with partner access and you can immediately start adding portfolio companies through the partner dashboard.

After approval

Your partner dashboard is accessible at /partner/dashboard. Your navigation shows a Partner badge. You can add companies, view their assessment results, track application progress across your portfolio, and access the cohort view for sharing with external stakeholders.
