Important Commitment Note:

At Volta, we place a high value on commitment and follow-through. As such, we expect each of our applicants to respect the time and resources we invest in them. If for any unforeseen reason you are unable to attend the kick-off, we request that you notify us and reschedule at least 24 hours in advance of the designated meeting date and time.

Failure to adhere to this notice period will be perceived as a lapse in commitment, indicating a lack of urgency or readiness for our Residency Program. In such an instance, your application will be terminated with immediate effect. Should you decide to apply again in the future, you will need to restart your application process and will be expected to demonstrate to our Startup Success Team why your startup should be reconsidered and what has changed to warrant another opportunity.

Please be aware that our acceptance into the Residency Program is a significant commitment. For every team we welcome, there's another team we have to say no to. We aim to work with teams who are as committed to their growth as we are to supporting them.

Thank you for understanding the gravity of this commitment.

Warm Regards,

Your Name
