The Process

If you are interested in turning your big idea into a reality, the first step is to apply to pairIncubator for inclusion in our upcoming incubation session. pairIncubator has two sessions per year: one in Spring and one in Autumn.

Here's a snapshot of our process:

1. Submit your application by January 2, 2009
2. We review all applications and meet with a select group of promising founders
3. We determine which founders will be accepted and notify them by January 19, 2009
4. You accept the offer and begin the 12 week incubation session. Usually, you'll retain over 90% of your company while pairIncubator keeps no more than 10%.
5. We begin incorporating your business, and you begin to work on your idea
6. We have initial meetings with the founders to determine the program, schedules, and your technology needs
7. You'll attend bi-weekly meetings with experts and other successful entrepreneurs that will offer counsel and guidance as you grow your business
8. Each month, you'll participate in open house presentations to demonstrate your business' progress
9. At the end of the 12 week session, we'll discuss whether to extend the incubation session or some other action such as pursuing venture or angel capital
10. If all goes well, you'll have a shiny, brand new successful business
