WHO SELECTS OUR COMPANY PARTICIPANTS?

A special committee made up of the Incubation Station founders, and industry- specific mentors.

WHAT YOU GET:

The time, expertise and connections of people who have succeeded in your industry. Instant credibility with investors as a vetted and trained Incubation Station company. The fast track to solutions for your business. A quicker and smarter shot at success. The opportunity for optimal ROI for investors and company executives.

WHAT WE GET:

Access to great products, companies, and ideas … feeling great about helping the "Next Great Idea Out There" achieve success.

WHO CAN WE HELP THE MOST?

The first Incubation Station Track, focused on CPG, will support companies in two different stages of the business life cycle. First, we will take companies with an amazing product, well into the development state, and offer them the resources and connections to break into the marketplace successfully. Second, we will take companies with a proven product with less than $3mm in sales, and help them overcome the obstacles keeping them from reaching the next level - leading to increased market share, improved retail positioning, and greater national distribution.

WHAT DO WE REQUIRE:

In order to be chosen for the 10-12 week incubator/accelerator program, you must live in Austin or be willing to re-locate to Austin for the duration of the program. You must be willing to give a small amount of equity for top-notch advice, connections, and access to cash when the situation merits funding. And most of all, you must be flexible, open to new ideas, and absolutely dedicated to putting what you’ve learned at the Incubation Station into action.

 

In addition to the invaluable guidance the mentors will provide, entrepreneur teams will also receive up to $20k cash to defray startup expenses, as well as up to $3500 in complimentary legal services.

 

Our mentors are encouraged to make all the necessary introductions to get you on the Track to Success.
