FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When does the 2026 nomination start, and how do I receive more information ?
Our application window will open in 2026. Please contact Dominik Tarolli (hello(at)dominuslab.com) with any request or question you might have.
What is a Christian Startup?
We seek alignment with ethical, faith-based values—serving others, integrity, and positive impact. Generally, though this is subject to change, if you affirm John 3:16 (that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, fully God and fully man, eternally one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, as confessed in the historic Nicene Creed.) as true, we consider you a Christian startup—though we don’t police this.
Are applications kept confidential?
Yes. The information on the nomination form will be used by the DOMINUS Lab team (in connection with the administration of the award), the partners/sponsors (who will review nonfinancial information), and the independent panels of judges. For the media files (picture(s), logo(s), and video of elevator pitche(s) we will handle the files under the data permissions and Usage Form
