Through this initiative, Incubate Fund will support startups targeting (1) deep tech, (2) youth, and (3) female founders, and help them raise external funds from VCs, angels and other investors. Specific actions will include mentoring, study sessions, meet-ups, and pitch events for entrepreneurs from pre-startup (considering or preparing to start a business) to pre-funding. A team of members with expertise and enthusiasm for each target profile will be in charge of planning and execution. In addition to the general VC approach of accessing a wide range of investment opportunities in the market, we aim to expand the base of startups through a distinctive proactive approach – a strength of Incubate Fund – in which we accompany potential entrepreneurs on their journey from before they have written their first business plan.
