Oxygen Accelerator - Our First Day in London
So, today is the first day of our stay on the startup accelerator in London - Oxygen Accelerator . Earlier, in early September, our web site protection service against DDoS attacks was selected to participate in this accelerator. Our decision to apply for this program was dictated by the fact that Oxygen is one of five accelerators that have been approved by the UK government for obtaining a business visa for 6 months. This, in turn, will extend the stay in England if our startup attracts an investment of 250,000 pounds.
The Oxygen Accelerator program takes 13 weeks and runs at Google Campus in London. Accelerator guide and interested investors select 10 teams from all applications and then invite them to the program.

The program conditions are as follows:
1) You give 8% of shares from your startup to the Oxygen Accelerator team.
2) In return, you receive an investment in your startup in the amount of £ 6,000 per team member. The maximum number of people in a team is 3 people. In our case, we came together, so we’ll get a total of 12,000 pounds.
3) During the first week you also need to register a new company in England and open a bank account.
After arriving every day of the program is scheduled by the hour, there is not even time to develop your product, you have to keep up everywhere.
Here is our schedule for the first day:
09:30 10:00: Arrive, coffee!
10:00 12:15: Accelerator 101 (all you need to know about the next 3 months)
12:15 13:15: Group Lunch, Settling into the coworking space.
1:15 PM 2:00 PM: Meet your Entrepreneurs, who are here to help you.
2:00 PM 4:15 PM: Getting to know each other: Pitches, and some surprise activities.
4:15 PM 5:00 PM: All about Google Campus:
5:30 PM: Head to The Book Club for Welcome Drinks! We will also be
alumni & other friends of Oxygen.
Google Campus building at the moment:
Teams gather in the audience:

A short break, building from the inside:
Making a small garden:
The first day is coming to an end, then according to the schedule - a trip to the pub, along with all the teams, the leadership of the accelerator and investors! Now you can relax a little and drink real English ale! :)
Please ask us questions if you are also going to apply for a similar program and we will gladly try to help you!
