By registering online or signing an MOU with Speed2Seed, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.

1. About Speed2Seed Program Partnerships

Speed2Seed is a 14-week startup accelerator programme operated by Xamun.AI ("we", "us", "Xamun", or "Speed2Seed"). Program Partners play a vital role in our ecosystem by providing co-promotion, visibility, network access, and optionally venue or event support.

Program Partnerships are founder-friendly and ecosystem-building relationships based on mutual support rather than financial transactions.

2. Registration and Memorandum of Understanding

2.1 Initial Registration

When you register interest in becoming a Program Partner, you grant us permission to:

• Review and evaluate your organisation's fit with Speed2Seed's mission and values

• Contact you about partnership opportunities and cohort schedules

• Share information about the programme structure and partnership benefits

2.2 Formal Partnership via MOU

Formal admission to the Program Partner network requires execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between your organisation and Xamun Technologies Ltd.

The MOU governs:
