Team Roar
Normalcy has been restored to the country to a large extent, and with it, our usual roster of startup events is back in full swing. So what’s happening this month? Read on to find out.
Spiralation – Tech Start-up Support Program (Application Stage)
Date: June 1st – 30th

Sri Lanka’s only seed funding platform for tech startups, Spiralation, is back for 2019. Spiralation focuses on supporting new tech startups, and has a track record of producing several startups which have gone on to become outstanding commercially viable companies. New start-ups (either registered or looking to register) and registered companies which have been in existence for less than 2 years (as of application date) are eligible to apply. Startups which apply should have a minimum of two directors/promoters and should be limited to ten employees.
This year, Spiralation has partnered with CrowdIsland to support startups who are looking to raise further funds (in addition to the LKR 1Mn which is provided by Spiralation). Startups can avail themselves of this option too.
CrowdIsland will further help startups with growth strategy, financial modelling, access to investors, pitching support & strategy, and access to potential partners and customers.
