Apply with your startupHow we work
A work plan we follow together
We tailor support to your stage and your team's needs. The agreed priorities determine which activities, experts and connections we bring in.
- 01
We get to know your team and needs.
In the kick-off conversation we go through your product, results so far, obstacles and what you want to achieve. We explain the available support and agree on how we will work.
- 02
We set quarterly priorities.
We create an individual plan with a few priorities, expected results and next steps. The first plan covers the rest of the current quarter; the number of priorities depends on your team's real needs.
- 03

We keep in regular bi-weekly contact with active teams. Following the agreed plan, we bring in the right mentors, experts and partners.

From business need to real deal.
We connect startups' ready solutions with companies' needs. The goal is a paid pilot that can grow into a commercial contract, or a direct purchase when the solution is ready.
Open Innovation helps a company solve a business problem by working with startups and other external teams. Venture Clienting is a model in which a company becomes a startup's client and tests or buys its solution.

Present your solutionHave a business challenge you need solved?

Partnership model: the company engages HUB201 for an agreed scope of methodology, solution scouting, facilitation or running Open Innovation and Venture Clienting processes. Scope and fee are agreed per engagement.
