Emerging One Incubator support program is boasting a network of initiatives designed specifically for startups. Our guiding principle is that successful digital startups should focus on client needs and online distribution. We offer seed funds and an acceleration program to startups in the initial phase, before providing guidance on how to create partnerships with other companies and how to make contact with investors. We adopt a different approach, believing that startup entrepreneurs are more in need of intelligent human input rather than money. Our philosophy is that to set up a solid company, a startup must be able to draw on a global network of suitable advisors – thus allowing them to overcome all the standard challenges faced by all startups in the quickest time possible. We provide consultancy, training and other services designed to help startups make their assault on the market.
Twice a year we invest a small amount of money ($150k) in a large number of startups. The startups move to Silicon Valley for 3 months, during which we work intensively with them to get the company into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present their companies to a carefully selected, invite-only audience.
