Startup Accelerator Application Form

Streamline Your Startup Accelerator Applications with Paperform

Finding the right startup accelerator can be transformative for Brazilian entrepreneurs. But the application process shouldn't be a barrier to innovation. Our Startup Accelerator Application Form template is specifically designed for Brazilian accelerator programs, incubators, and innovation hubs that need to efficiently collect, evaluate, and process applications from promising startups across Brazil.

Built for the Brazilian Startup Ecosystem

This template understands the unique requirements of Brazilian entrepreneurship. It seamlessly collects essential regulatory information including CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica) for registered companies and CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) for founders, ensuring compliance with Brazilian business regulations from day one. Whether you're running a São Paulo tech accelerator, a Florianópolis innovation hub, or a nationwide entrepreneurship program, this form adapts to your specific evaluation criteria.

Perfect for Accelerators, Incubators & Innovation Programs

Accelerator Directors can customize evaluation criteria to match their investment thesis and vertical focus. Program Managers gain a structured way to collect consistent information across all applicants, making comparative analysis straightforward. Selection Committees receive organized submissions with all necessary documentation in one place, from pitch decks to financial projections.

The form captures everything you need: company registration details, founder backgrounds, product/service descriptions, market validation, financial metrics, funding requirements, and growth projections. Conditional logic ensures you only ask relevant follow-up questions based on company stage, industry, and funding status.

Beyond Data Collection: Automated Workflows

Once an entrepreneur submits their application, Paperform can trigger intelligent workflows through Stepper. Automatically route applications to specific reviewers based on industry vertical, send acknowledgment emails with next steps, create evaluation tasks in your project management tools, or update your CRM with applicant information. This means your team can focus on evaluating startups rather than managing spreadsheets.

Professional, On-Brand Experience

First impressions matter in the startup world. This template delivers a polished, professional application experience that reflects well on your accelerator program. Customize colors, fonts, and branding to match your program identity. Add your logo, background images, and custom success messages. The clean, intuitive layout works beautifully on mobile devices, so founders can apply from anywhere.

Designed for Growth-Stage Assessment

The form intelligently captures key metrics that matter for accelerator selection: current MRR or revenue, customer count, team composition, competitive advantage, and specific support needs. Optional sections for traction metrics, press coverage, and testimonials help standout applicants showcase their momentum.

Security & Compliance You Can Trust

Handling sensitive business information and personal data like CPF and CNPJ requires robust security. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, ensuring that applicant data is protected to the highest standards. Set up custom permissions so only authorized team members can access submissions, and maintain complete audit trails of who reviewed what and when.

Integration with Your Existing Stack

Connect seamlessly with tools your accelerator team already uses. Send applications to Airtable or Google Sheets for collaborative scoring, ping your Slack channel when high-priority applications arrive, or sync founder details to your HubSpot or Pipedrive CRM. With native integrations and Stepper workflows, Paperform fits naturally into your existing evaluation process.
