Incubation
Your idea is ready for execution?
Let's find paying customers, build a team & collect funding.
In our incubation program, we push you to talk to customers and do your homework to get ready for investment.
Once you have identified a business idea, let’s focus on product-market fit.
Put aside pizza & beer and let’s get serious.
Our 3 month incubator helps you to focus on revenue, find paying customers to build your product and understand your target market.
Together with partners from the industry and entrepreneurs, we provide a high paced environment for feedback, constant coaching and iteration.
Learn what it means to be a founder, understand how to build an investable business, become part of the network and get ready to pitch on stage.
But beware:
You will pivot. Sometimes twice.
Your team might change. And that’s fine.
You will raise money. Because why not?
