The 6 main benefits of Incubazul
Personalized mentoring
Each startup has a bag of hours of mentoring and direct accompaniment. You will have a head mentor who will guide you. Each bi-weekly peer review serves to see how progress is being made in those weeks and what fields need to be addressed in the coming ones. The entire system is adapted so that each initiative receives the most comprehensive training and guidance. It's really about taking projects to the next level.
Supplemental Mentoring Team
A team of mentors offers personalized advice according to the needs of the companies. They cover fields as diverse and complementary as business model, digital marketing, people, legal, technology or communication. Depending on the startup's route or the vital moment of the project, they go in and out of the itinerary in order to configure a global and complete project. A true tailor-made path with the best advice: that of those people who have the experience of entrepreneurship and have gone there before.
