WHAT WE DO

Everything you need
to launch and grow.

From workspace and incubation to events, mentorship, and company formation — we bring together what founders need in one place.

Incubation Acceleration Workspace Events & Workshops Company Formation
01 — INCUBATION & BUSINESS SUPPORT

A structured home
for your startup.

Our incubation program gives startups a legal address, a professional environment, and access to the guidance they need — without the overhead of setting up alone.

We work with early-stage founders and SMEs who want to grow with the right foundations in place. Agreements start from 3 months, with most members choosing a 12-month commitment to get the most out of their time with us.

  • Legal commercial address in the Diplomatic Area
  • Business planning and advisory support
  • Access to mentors and ecosystem partners
  • Workshops, training, and networking events
  • Agreements from 3 months, up to 3 years max
02 — ACCELERATION PROGRAMS

Structured programs
for faster growth.

We design and run cohort-based acceleration programs in partnership with global partners — connecting startups with mentors, investors, and international markets.

Our first EdTech cohort ran in 2024 in partnership with The Startup Buddy, attracting teams from around the world. Our next cohort is currently in planning.

If you're interested in joining or partnering with us on a future program, get in touch and we'll keep you updated.
