How does an online incubation work?

We provide you with a completely online experience of business incubation tailored for social enterprises and purpose-driven startups. 

We use Design Thinking as the primary development method in our Social Entrepreneurship Incubation program.  

​

The design thinking process is built on a set of principles that guide business developers in their problem-solving approach. These principles include:

 

  • Empathy: Understanding the needs and desires of users by putting yourself in their shoes.

  • Define: Defining the problem that you are trying to solve, and clearly articulating the design challenge.

  • Ideate: Brainstorming and generating multiple ideas for possible solutions.

  • Prototype: Creating a low-fidelity version of the solution, such as a mockup or a storyboard.

  • Test: Testing the prototype with users to get feedback and refine the solution.

We guide you through the development process with the help of:

​

  • Online courses that give you a practice-oriented insight into each development step

  • Practical assignments that you can submit to our mentors who will give you personalized feedback on your progress

  • Online workshops to practice each step with our mentors 

  • Online mentor meetings to get personal (or team-level) feedback and support on your development journey

Duration of the incubation:

​

The incubation program is self-pacing. You can follow your own pace, according to your timetable. Our experience is that the shortest period to finalize the program is around 6 months, while even with the busiest team the process can be finalized within 18 months.
