We are different from a typical Accelerator. We understand that AI technology and ideas need time and a lot of support to grow into a real business. We also know startups come to us at varying stages of readiness, each with a unique set of challenges. This is why we focus on AI only and don’t support general startups. This is why we don’t offer cookie-cutter packages; instead, we tailor our help to the needs of each and every project. We expect that upon completing our incubation program, a startup will have at least a MVP, stable team, and established basic company functions. In other words, it will be ready to enter global markets. Overview via AI Startup Incubator
