Continuously throughout the programme the AME team will collectively assess team based on the progress and use it to put together a Startup Leaderboard.
Each team is given a score. The level is an answer to the question: "Based on current performance what is the likelihood that this team will achieve their startup goals by Demo Day?"
The level is given influenced by your Point of Contact and the wider teams thoughts on:
Approximately 1/3 of the way through the programme we will announce the top 2 teams only. This is to demonstrate which teams are the highest performing and will be updated semi-regularly to see who overtakes. Your PoCs have been asked not to share your exact scores so please do not ask them for this, we will be discussing with you all how we think you can reach the highest level of accomplishment to achieve your goals individually.
Please note, this is not a rating of you as individuals. We think each one of you is exceptional and that’s why we have selected you to be part of the Accelerate ME Cohort. We believe every individual has the potential to receive a top level score team rating, and that’s what we are working towards as an AME team.
