The Incubation Program: 5% Equity, No Cash, For Concept-Stage Founders

Incubation
Program

The Incubation Program is how we work with founders at the concept and pre-revenue stage, before they meet our investment criteria.

​

No cash changes hands in either direction. We take 5% of the company and work alongside you as a hands-on advisor. You pay nothing.

Hit early traction and up to $100K in funding can follow.
