Got Questions?
We’ve got Answers
We dedicate this section for questions that start-ups have, for working together with o2 Telefónica. If any further questions, feel free to contact us directly!
How big can your team be?
- There’s no strict limit, but we recommend teams of up to seven people to ensure enough workspace and resources for everyone.
How much does the residency cost?
- The residency is free of charge for selected startups. Our goal is to support innovation, not to create financial barriers. Although we have a community fee of €30 per person per month, it covers general shared expenses such as the weekly fruit basket, luggage storage, and snack orders.
Is the residency time-limited?
- Yes, residencies are typically granted for a defined period - usually over 12 months - with the possibility to extend depending on progress and availability.
Who is the residency for?
- It’s designed for early-stage and growth-stage startups working on innovative, tech-driven solutions that align with o2 Telefónica and Wayra’s strategic focus areas.
Who is it not for?
- The residency is not intended for individuals without a startup or team, consultants, or companies outside the innovation and technology space.
When will I know if I've been accepted?
- You’ll receive a response on the first days of December.
If we apple as a team, does one application cover everyone?
- Yes, one team application is enough - just list all team members and their roles in the form.
When can I start?
- You can start as soon as your application is approved and onboarding is completed - we’ll coordinate the exact start date with you individually.
