How applications are selected

What reviewers look for

• TLcom focuses heavily on the size of the addressable market — they want to see a USD 100M+ revenue potential.
• They reward strong unit economics and founders who understand their cost of customer acquisition and lifetime value.
• Tech-first models win here — businesses using technology as a core enabler rather than a nice-to-have.
• Repeat or second-time founders, or those with deep corporate experience in their sector, are looked on especially favourably.
• Avoid pitching too early — TLcom invests at Series A and later; approach them with real commercial traction.
