Start FAQs

What kind of (Co)Founders does Jubile invest in?

Since we take care of tech, we look to incubate Founders who are subject matter experts in their domain. For example, if you are a Dentist and have thought of a digital product/service that would revolutionize your medical field, we are your people.

Applications with 2 or more Co-Founders, especially when 1 is a subject matter expert and the other a seasoned salesperson, are the most desirable and will be prioritized.

I am a technical Co-Founder. Is Jubile Tech Incubator for me?

Jubile Tech Incubator was built to help non-tech entrepreneurs achieve their dreams. To make technology equitable for all. If what you want to develop is so complex that you need extra Engineering hands, feel free to apply - however, you (or your Co-Founder) will need to design and execute the business plan, including marketing, sales and PR.

What's it like being incubated in Start?

Being incubated in Jubile is like you have Chief Technology, Product, and Design Officers working with you to build the most efficient MVP you could ever have. We have ingrained a no BS mentality and get things done asap. We'll build you the optimal product and get you in front of investors, but it takes two to tango, so you have to be ready.
