Caribbean Venture Accelerator & Demo Day
Last Updated: March 2027
By submitting an application to the Caribbean Venture Accelerator & Demo Day ("the Program"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not submit an application.
These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the "Applicant" or "Participant") and Impact Hub Aruba ("the Organizer," "we," "us," or "our").
To be eligible for the Program, you must:
The Organizer reserves the right to verify eligibility and may request additional documentation.
All applications must be submitted through the official registration form on our website. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and submission does not guarantee acceptance.
Applications will be reviewed within 3-5 business days. Selection is based on factors including but not limited to:
Accepted applicants will receive an email notification with payment instructions and program details. Acceptance is conditional upon timely payment of program fees.
Payment must be completed within 7 days of acceptance notification. Failure to complete payment within this timeframe may result in forfeiture of your spot.
We accept credit card payments through our secure payment partner, CXPay. All payments are processed in USD.
Both categories include:
Program fees do not include:
All registration and participation fees are non-refundable. By completing payment, participants acknowledge and accept that cancellations, withdrawals, no-shows, or changes in personal circumstances do not entitle the participant to a full or partial refund under any circumstances.
A refund will only be considered if the Organizer is compelled to cancel the event entirely due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control (force majeure), including but not limited to natural disasters, government-imposed restrictions, or other events that make it impossible to hold the event. In such a case, a full refund of program fees paid will be issued.
If the event is rescheduled rather than cancelled outright, no refund will be issued. Participant registrations will automatically transfer to the rescheduled date.
The Organizer is not responsible for any travel, accommodation, visa, or other ancillary costs incurred by participants regardless of the reason for cancellation or rescheduling.
Where a refund is approved under section 5.2, it will be processed within 14 business days to the original payment method.
Participants are expected to attend all scheduled sessions of the Accelerator Program (March 22–25), Pitch Preparation (March 26–28), and Demo Day (March 30). Failure to attend may result in removal from the program without refund.
All participants must:
Violation of the code of conduct may result in immediate removal from the program without refund.
By participating, you grant the Organizer permission to use photographs, videos, and recordings of you and your presentation for promotional purposes, including but not limited to website, social media, and marketing materials.
You retain all ownership rights to your business ideas, intellectual property, and presentations. Participation in the Program does not grant the Organizer any ownership stake or equity in your venture.
While we encourage openness, we understand the sensitive nature of early-stage ventures. Mentors, investors, and staff will maintain confidentiality regarding information shared during private sessions. However, information shared during Demo Day and public presentations is not considered confidential.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Organizer, its partners, mentors, and staff from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your participation in the Program or violation of these terms.
The Organizer reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or modify the Program due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to:
In the event of cancellation, the Organizer may offer a virtual alternative. Participants will have the option to participate virtually or receive a partial refund as outlined in Section 5.
