Frequently Asked Questions
A technology incubator programme is a structured initiative designed to support early-stage technology startups and entrepreneurs. These programmes provide a range of resources and services to help new businesses grow and succeed.
The goal of a technology incubator programme is to support the development of early-stage high-potential startups by providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and support to become successful and sustainable businesses.
The BetaDen Incubate programme is completely free to join - no fees, no commission and no equity is involved, allowing founders to develop their technology in the way they see best without vested interests steering their direction - removing some of the commercial sensitivities involved in participating in tech-specific programmes and thereby boosting the value it adds to participants.
BetaDen Incubate is open to early-stage high-potential technology businesses regardless of their location, however, businesses located too far afield outside of Worcestershire and neighbouring counties that can't demonstrate a clear link to Worcestershire might need to register their business address in Worcestershire for at least the duration of the programme. We can help with this process. We are unable to consider London-based companies at this stage.
