Who or What is Startup Junkie?
Startup Junkie is the Venture Catalyst arm of the Walton Family Foundation. Founded in 2008, Startup Junkie's mission is to help entrepreneurs become enterprise-ready by gaining nurtured relationships with key Fortune 500 companies through feedback sessions, training, pilots and demos.
Our Track Record
Since our founding in 2008, over 2500 startups have joined our programmes, with over 100 from Asia. Our teams in US, Korea, Europe and Asia are always on the look out for ambitious entrepreneurs that want to take the next step to be enterprise-ready and scale with corporations.
What is Enterprise Ready?
Enterprise ready means that you and your team will be ready to talk to a buyer, run a successful beta test, and navigate the bureaucracy of your target clients in order to make a sale. For every meeting with a curated prospect, you and your team will have one chance to move the sales process along.
How Do I Know if My Company Can Apply?
Ideally, you should be a seed-stage or growth stage startup. You would most likely have an established product and are ready to pursue your first enterprise customer, or have experience closing and servicing corporate clients. But if you have 2 founders and one dollar of revenue, you might still have what it takes.
