What questions do you have about The Leap Program?
We provide different incubation programs, 100% online, that help early-stage entrepreneurs to structure and develop their entrepreneurial projects. All our programs provide:
- 3-month access to our learn-by-doing proven methodology.
- 18h of one to one mentorship with your personal support.
- “Checkpoints”, online meetings with your cohort and our team to deepen the work on each critical aspect of your business and leverage the collective intelligence of the group.
- Lifetime access to a community of fellow founders and mentors.
- Participation in the cohort award to compete for seed capital.
For more details, consult our full program description here.
We support early-stage entrepreneurs that either have a solid idea they’re passionate about pursuing, an MVP/prototype with little business structure, or an early-stage company. Most of our cohorts are open to all sectors, but some are sector-based, so make sure you check the program details before applying. We have entrepreneurs from 57+ countries and the program is 100% online, so you can easily join from anywhere in the world. As of today, the program is available in English and Spanish (French to be released soon).
Your mentor is your guide throughout the program, someone who can understand the ins and outs of your business and, week after week, help you validate your strategy for each critical stage, from better targeting your customers to having a 3 years growth plan. Mentors support you through collaboration on the platform as well as in-person video chats once a week.
You will need to be able to use a laptop or desktop computer (not tablet or smartphone) and preferably one of these browsers: Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox. We expect you to have a strong, reliable internet connection both for your online work on the platform and to participate in the Checkpoints and online mentors calls via video conference.
We don’t directly invest in any business that takes part in The Leap program. However, all throughout the program we connect you to prize opportunities, competitions, and other opportunities for funding. We also prepare you for fundraising through expert masterclasses and, provided you have finished the incubation program, you can be connected to investors from our network based on geography, sector, and other criteria.
