These companies shall be advised to come for a presentation to the deal screening committee. Each company will be given ten to fifteen minutes to present, followed by a 15-minute discussion session.

A company that will present to the investment group shall be charged a minimum amount of $250. After the final presentation, an investment decision shall be made by individual members of the group. For business presentations, the minimum requirements of the group are a PowerPoint presentation and an executive summary. However, applications with complete supporting documents are more preferable.

Submission of applications is also done through the group's website, wherein each applicant will be asked first to create a profile. This profile can be accessed through a user name and password to proceed with the application submission.
