Talk:Berkeley SkyDeck

June 19 - Add Program Information

 * Explanation of issue: This article needs more content/explanation from reliable secondary sources.
 * Information that can be added: (With citations included)

Program
Startup companies join the Berkeley SkyDeck accelerator for six months (one university semester). Startups accepted into the highest level cohort track receive $50,000 when they join, and $50,000 three months in--a total of $100,000 to use to build their businesses. In exchange, SkyDeck takes a five percent equity in each cohort startup.

The six-month SkyDeck term finishes with a demo day where startups in the SkyDeck cohort present to hundreds of investors, seeking venture capital financing.

 * ❌ I can't see any sources in your request? You've put the reference tags in (the   tags) but haven't put actually put any references in the tags. If you could provide the references you intended to use, then request an edit again, someone will be able to consider your edit. Thanks!  Seagull123  Φ  17:26, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help with this edit! In fact, the references are in there, but they are List-defined references (LDR), meaning that they already appear in the article and are being referenced again. Example:  is a shorthand that links to a reference already fully spelled out in the article to a VentureBeat 2020 article by Paul Sawers. I hope that makes sense!
