Incubator & Accelerator
From a promising idea to something that works.
We help selected founders and project leaders test assumptions, strengthen their ideas and connect with people who can help them move forward.
Operated by An Adaptive ecosystem program.
Applications open
How it works
Evidence first. Then momentum.
-
01
Build the right thing
Incubator for ideas still being tested: problem definition, customer discovery, early prototypes, initial validation.
-
02
Evidence first
Discover, diagnose, build, test. Learn from real users, then refine, pilot, grow, raise capital or stop.
-
03
Help where it helps
Accelerator for ventures with evidence: mentors, expertise, pilot relationships, operating support and capital readiness.
Who it is for
Builders with something worth testing.
Adaptive Fellows, Adaptive Intelligence members, founders, researchers, university teams, locally led ventures, nonprofit leaders and partner organizations.
Selection weighs the quality of the problem, evidence it exists, the team's commitment and adaptability, local understanding and ability to execute.
