Our incubation service allows entrepreneurs to plan, start, and eventually grow their ideas into high-impact business ventures. It does so by exposing the business to a relevant investor market or capital, or a highly connected network. At UP we have a wide range of highly successful alumni across a variety of fields. This network comes together to assist current students with their entrepreneurial dreams. This may be in the form of angel investing, buying into the new business, providing another network of interested contacts, business-to-business trade, or providing advice and skills learnt from years of experience.
The incubator provides a space where you can meet your mentor, entrepreneurial peers, and potential clients, while having the professional appearance of an established business and gaining access to an established network. This process helps to cushion your business so that you do not have to invest significant capital at the beginning and also assists you with finding clients through word-of-mouth exposure to relevant business influencers.
