Velocity Incubator Program (VIP)

You are a founding team with qualified technical experts and a CEO ready to get product-market fit in the industry you aim to disrupt. You have a minimum viable product already in the market OR you have completed your first major product milestone and have protected your intellectual property. You have a demonstrated business model (e.g., sales, letters of interest, or partnerships), can articulate a viable path to addressing your market, and have raised at least $50K from grants, angel investors, revenues, or pre-seed investors. The founding team has at least two years of experience in leading teams and there is a clear alignment between what you need and what Velocity can provide to you.
