Overview
We all have ideas that pop into our minds and might have the business potential, but at the end of the day do not materialize. The first step is always the hardest and this is why we are here- to push you and guide you towards that first clickable prototype.
If you have a novel idea that solves a problem under the sectors of FINTECH, EDUTECH, HEALTHTECH or CYBERSECURITY – now is the time to share it with others!
A team of experienced mentors will be there to guide you through the process of getting from an idea to a prototype in 48 hours. Tech and design mentors to help you to build the minimum viable product and business mentors who will show you how to validate the idea and sell it.
