Admission Process

Ivy+ is intentionally selective. We look for alumni who combine academic excellence with leadership in Deep Tech, Finance, or Entrepreneurship. Below you will find the exact steps we follow and a non-exhaustive list of eligible universities.

1 – Online Application

Complete the Ivy+ application form with your academic, professional & personal details. (≈ 5 minutes)

2 – Credential Verification

Our team validates your university affiliation (official email, diploma or alumni-office confirmation) and may request additional proofs (e.g. LinkedIn, publication record).

3 – Committee Review

Applications are evaluated weekly by our Admissions Committee, focusing on leadership potential, contribution to the community, and alignment with Ivy+ values.

4 – Decision & On-boarding

You’ll receive an email decision within 14 days. Accepted members get a private invite link, onboarding resources and immediate access to events & deal-flow channels.
