Intellecap has announced the launch of StartupWave which is a new virtual incubation platform built with support from GIZ and DFID.

Startup Wave aims to “democratize incubation”, and is a a one-stop service providing a blend of virtual and in-person support to take startups from idea to investment. It has been designed as a piece of industry infrastructure in partnership with over 100 startups, incubators, corporates and funds.

StartupWave offerings are currently divided into two segments – pre-incubation services consisting of business model design and validation support for idea to pilot stage startups and incubation services consisting of lean prototyping, mentorship, business services, R&D and other support for early to growth stage startups.

At the end of pre-incubation; startups are chosen to be incubated by any one of the 24+ incubator partners of StartupWave or be virtually incubated on StartupWave and at the end of incubation, they pitch to a network of over 350 investors.

StartupWave’s long term vision is to work with thousands of entrepreneurs each year, and complement the work that accelerators and space incubators do. To learn more and register, click here.
