A startup that has been selected to join the acceleration program will be offered with at least one of the acceleration programs, but may not get support in all areas.

Support offered to startups under the JSA program are considered as investments. The organizer will invest on the selected startups based on a refined equity investment concept. All equity investment rules and regulations will be applied.
