Contact usDo I need a registered company to apply?
No. Many teams join at idea stage. We help you incorporate during onboarding once the team and plan are clear.

Terms depend on the program. Pre-incubation is fee- and equity-free; core incubation may include a small, transparent equity or service-fee component, explained upfront.
How long is the incubation?
Programs run from 8 weeks to 12 months. Most startups spend six months in core incubation, then move to acceleration or the scale-up network.
Can I join remotely?
Yes. Mentoring, workshops and events are available online, though on-site members get access to the lab, desks and in-person community.
Which sectors do you support?
We are sector-agnostic with strengths in AgriTech, HealthTech, FinTech, EdTech, ClimateTech, SaaS and deep tech.
How are startups selected?
A panel scores applications on problem clarity, founder commitment, market size and team balance, followed by a short interview.
