“Never imagined pitching my startup in English, on stage, to a room full of people. But here I am, presenting iFocus, a web extension that tracks concentration in real-time using your webcam. Thanks to NextEd, in just four months, I’ve transformed it from a simple idea into market research and now, an MVP.”

Frequently
crack*d
questions

(because we’re here to crack the code to your startup success)!

How long is the program?

Our incubator program takes 20 weeks, segmented into two comprehensive 10-week 'Chapters' focused on different growth stages from ideation to MVP development, allowing your idea to grow into reality while giving you comprehensive toolset and mindset training.

What is a startup incubator?

A startup incubator supports entrepreneurs with mentoring, networking, workspace, and training to help their startups grow. Selected startups gain access to these resources for a fixed period.

How do you support startups?

Startups get investor access (no secret handshake needed), unlimited coffee to fuel big ideas, and a workspace with a view—because your basement isn’t it. Our workshops cover everything from marketing to Vibe-Coding™ (yes, that’s a thing). Good ideas, good people, good vibes, what more do you need?

What are the criteria to join?

We're looking for passionate founders with innovative ideas that solve real problems. We focus on areas like digital tech, sustainability, and EdTech. We evaluate based on your experience, idea, coachability, personality (from our intake call), and your pitch to our expert panel.

How do you help with funding?

NextEd doesn’t offer grants or loans, but we connect you with a network of investors and financial experts. We’ll also guide you in crafting a solid financial plan and help you pitch like a pro when meeting potential investors.

Do you take equity?

Yeah - no. We do not take equity in the startups developed at our incubator, we believe the value we provide to you is paid back by the good impact your business makes on society.
