Incubation Pathways

1

Ideation &
Pre-incubation

Igniting the
Entrepreneurial Spirit

Designed to cultivate the initial spark of innovation, this phase focuses on sourcing and validating concepts from students, researchers, and professionals. Through targeted awareness workshops, ideathons, and expert consultations, we transform raw ideas into viable business concepts. Hence, we provide the essential groundwork for aspiring entrepreneurs to test their hypotheses before entering the market.

Startup Incubation

Building a
Robust Foundation

This is a deep-support framework for selected high-potential startups. Over a 12-month period, we provide a comprehensive ecosystem that includes mentorship, product prototyping, and access to banking and grant channels. We recognize that early-stage ventures require holistic support; therefore, we facilitate critical business services—from legal and IP to finance—alongside milestone-based strategic planning to ensure the venture becomes market-ready.

Business Accelerator

Scaling for
Impact & Investment

A high-intensity, hybrid program tailored for revenue-generating startups poised for rapid growth. In light of the challenges in scaling, this 6-month cohort focuses on deepening market engagement and operational efficiency. We work collaboratively with founders to design robust business strategies and secure institutional investment, effectively fast-tracking the journey from early traction to market leadership.

Market Expansion

Expanding Horizons through Strategic Planning

For mature startups and businesses seeking new territories, this program serves as a vehicle for expansion. We offer a collaborative service focused on market penetration through joint ventures and strategic partnerships. By developing curated market access action plans, we help businesses navigate complex value chains and establish a sustainable footprint in new geographies.
