Program START lasts for 8 months during which you will conduct market research, prepare a business model, and present your idea to a professional jury or investors at the Idea Pitch event. You will develop a financial plan and a marketing strategy. Throughout the program, you will receive education at internal events with entrepreneurs and mentors who will help you develop your idea.

Program UP lasts for 1 year. You can enter it if you have a registered company and a team of people working on a startup. You will continue to improve and develop your product or service with the support of our mentors and former incubator members. You will create a go-to-market strategy, and with our assistance, you will seek financing.

All programs are in Slovak and so it is necessary to be fluent in this language.
