Our Requirements

To ensure alignment with our goals and to maximize the impact of our services, aiquniq has established the following criteria for startups wishing to partner with us:

Purpose driven founders

We seek founders who are visionaries, driven by a relentless desire to change the world for the better. Our services are not intended for those seeking short-term assistance or speculative ventures.

Expertise

We require evidence of your experience and proficiency in your chosen field. This includes a proven track record of relevant accomplishments, skills, or contributions that showcase your ability to lead and execute your startup's vision effectively.

Even though we require such evidence we know that not every good idea has also experienced creator, so don't feel intimidated if you do not fully fall within this requirement. Hovewer, due to our scope and in the industry we work in you must have at least the basic knowledge about the industry. For space exploration we are talking physics and chemistry (to some extend). For other fields the relevant knowledge too...

Your motivation

We seek to understand your motivation for launching your startup, beyond financial gain. You must articulate a clear and compelling reason for pursuing your venture. Failing to do so may result in disqualifying you from the program. Even though we are more drawn to the founders doing things beyond monetary gain, if your idea is good enough and fitted within our vision, we will support you either way.

Alignment with Our Mission

We selectively enroll startups whose missions we genuinely support. Your vision, values, and objectives must align with our commitment to fostering innovation that matters. We choose to work only with those whose goals inspire us and reflect our dedication to meaningful and ethical progress. So if you are a company doing space exploration, orbital manufacturing, etc. - you are already aligned with our mission.

Evidence of your Progress

If your startup has already secured funding, we require a comprehensive overview of your work to date. This includes tangible results, milestones achieved, and a clear demonstration of your potential for future growth and impact, as validated by your investor's confidence.

Pioneering fields

We exclusively partner with startups operating in fields that drive groundbreaking advancements. Eligible industries include, but are not limited to:

Technology
Engineering
Robotics
Space Research
Biochemistry
Medical and Healthcare Innovation
And related interdisciplinary fields that leverage new discoveries or technologies to transform the world.

Note: not applicable to non-profits

Equity Partnership

In exchange for our comprehensive design/development services, or funding & grant access, we require a fair share of equity in your business. This ensures a vested interest in your success and aligns our efforts with your long-term growth, fostering a true partnership rather than a transactional relationship.

Non-profit terms

In exchange for our pro bono services, we ask that nonprofits publicly acknowledge our contribution by sharing our name and recognizing aiquniq as a proud supporter. This mutual recognition not only celebrates our joint efforts but also helps us continue to expand our reach and support to more worthy causes.
