IdeaGist Virtual Incubator plans to help a large number of people with innovative ideas in launching their startups. We are currently accepting applications from entrepreneurs with early stage ideas. If you already have a product developed, this program may not help you much.

Why?
We all come up with ideas, but coming up with an idea is not a ticket to success unless it’s put into action. There are many challenges idea makers must overcome in order to convert their ideas into a successful business. Some common challenges that often hold us back include the intractable inner dialogues you may be able to relate to, such as:
- I am good at what I do but I am not an expert in every aspect of running a business.
- I rely on my paycheck and leaving my job to work on an idea is not a risk that I can take.
- I don’t have enough money to start a business
- I have a great idea and all I need is …. (fill in the blank—an investor, a programmer, a developer, an app developer, a marketing person, etc.)

What?
IdeaGist offers a lean process with three key stages of development that can be used in multiple iterations:
1. Think
2. Execute
3. Launch

If selected for the program, you will be required to follow startup process, completing Think stage in 90 days. After completing the Think stage, we will provide you with mentors to help you with Execute stage. Select entrepreneurs that reach the Launch stage would get the opportunity to present their startup to a global pool of investors.

- IdeaGist does not take any equity in your startup.
- Acceptance in the program will not require spending any money on IdeaGist.
- IdeaGist is not an investment company and does not promise any investment in your idea.
- IdeaGist is not a business plan generator, it is your practical guide to develop your ideas.
