Who Should Apply
Built for founders at the very start
You don't need a company, a pitch deck or funding yet. You need one of these:
An idea you can explain in a minute
A product, service or process that solves a real problem for people you can name.
An early prototype or a plan to build one
Sketches, a rough model or a first version — we help you take it further.
Time to commit
Regular hours at the incubation centre and a willingness to test with real users.
How To Apply
Three steps, one conversation
- 1
Tell us about your idea
A short form or a WhatsApp message is enough to start.
- 2
Meet a mentor
A 45-minute conversation to understand the idea and where you are.
- 3

Get a desk, a mentor and a milestone plan for your first stage.
