The first phase

Lasts 3-6 months. You will get a professional guide with whom you will deal with the establishment of the company, the product, its introduction, the value proposition, and other necessary basics for a successful start of the business. If all goes well, you're ready for Phase 2.

The second phase

Lasts up to two years. At this stage, you're already starting your business. We are fine-tuning the business model, looking for funding, you are becoming the leader of the company, we are working together on marketing and business strategy and you are ready to enter the market.
