H-Farm, the Italian VC-slash-incubator-slash-holding company based in the countryside near Venice, just announced the opening of their new Seed Program.

H-Farm will provide financing for three months worth of development, in which teams will work in their new Startup Village, and claims it will take a minority share in each company, but doesn’t add specific details. We’re guessing around 15-20%. The first batch will include 5 startups.

So, if you have an idea (you don’t even need a prototype) for a startup you’re good to go. The only accepted projects will be ones that are Internet-focused with a preference for those that tackle Greentech, Healthcare, Local News and Social Gaming sub sectors.

There must be enough material to enable an assessment of the idea: description of the idea, market reference and the competitive scenario, presentation of the founding team, development strategy (at least in the short term) and a proposal for use of funds. You can apply via this form. The deadline is set on the 28th of February.

    It would be great if the people behind these sort of seed programmes could be a bit more specific with their numbers… that is unless they don’t mind someone rocking up to pitch them a business in equally vague terms :)
