Australian start-up 7write.com is scrambling to find a third co-founder after being selected as a finalist for Startupbootcamp Amsterdam<\/a>, which has a preference for teams with three founders.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7write, founded in 2012, describes itself as the world leader in writing software. It helps writers research, develop, write and self-publish eBooks for the likes of Kindle and Apple\u2019s iBookstore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Directed by AngelCube graduate Paul Hayes, 7write has been named one of 50 finalists for Startupbootcamp Amsterdam, a three-month program open to tech start-ups worldwide.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each team receives \u20ac15,000 ($A19,000) in seed funding. At the end of the program, start-ups have the opportunity to pitch for further funding from angel investors and venture capitalists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s program will take place from April 2 to June 28, followed by a fadeout period from July to September.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chosen from more than 550 applications, Hayes believes 7write has \u201ca very good chance\u201d of being selected for the program, which has just 10 places available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we\u2019ve been told we need a third co-founder,\u201d he wrote on Silicon Beach Australia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone strong in business development\/CEO role would be ideal, but it would [be] great to hear from anyone that thinks they can add something special to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On its website, Startupbootcamp Amsterdam says it prefers teams with three or more founders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can apply with two founders but to really accelerate your start-up we prefer a strong team of three people,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe look for teams with the following skills \u2013 tech development, marketing and sales, design, business expertise with drive, vision and leadership.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe also believe marketing and research talents need to be in the team as they start their customer discovery and development.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown whether any other Australian start-ups have been selected as finalists for the program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, Startupbootcamp Amsterdam says the quality and quantity of applications has \u201cbroken all previous records\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNow that applications for this program have closed, we are in the middle of the process of selecting the top 20 teams,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThey will be invited to Amsterdam to take part in the finals at the end of February 2013. Our work with a skilled team of mentors and evaluators continues now in earnest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
