Selection Criteria

  • A business dedicated to solving a compelling problem using innovative technology.

  • The ability to become a venture backable business in a growing market.

Pre-incubation, Incubation, Acceleration

What are we talking about?.

From the white board ideation to the minimum viable product (MVP). This phase starts from the creation of the company to the launch of its business model.

This phase deals with market validation, product market fit and traction.

Start-ups that have moved beyond the earliest stages of getting established. They have basically entered their “adolescence,” meaning they can stand on their own two feet but need guidance and peer support to gain strength. Less developed companies not ready for an accelerator would instead use a business incubator for support.
