If you believe you have a great business idea and have the passion to take it to the next level, complete our  Applications are open from March 12 - April 14, 2024. Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by a panel of judges.

Individuals with submissions deemed viable by our judges will then be contacted to arrange a time to present to the judges. The judges will then select a cohort of 6 to 8 for THE IºÃÉ«TVBATOR.

Upon acceptance into The IºÃÉ«TVBATOR, we will pair you with mentors. The mentors will have a similar background as your business idea and will help guide you along the way.

In addition to mentors, we will help you create a team. Teams typically consist of three members, who will have complementary skills and a wide range of backgrounds. Team member choice is ultimately up to you, but advice from mentors will be taken into consideration.

Once the program begins, teams will focus on three main items:

1. Building a strong viable business model
2. Building a strong team
3. Developing a Prototype

Throughout the 12-weeks teams will be given goals and milestones to achieve. There will also be weekly educational seminars that are required to attend. Advice and guidance from the mentors will be key in helping teams accomplish their goals.

The program ends when all teams present to a group of investors, entrepreneurs and advisors.

1. Assessment of the feasibility of the idea
2. Understanding and identifying target market
3. Ability to identify knowledge gaps
4. Building a well-rounded team
5. Understanding of the competition
6. Prototype/well-articulated concept
