proof
programme
The incubator Proof Programme is for you that have an idea or a start-up, or would like to develop one. The incubation program helps you through your entire entrepreneurial journey. We have the expertise to support you based on where you are on your path towards a marketable product or service. We will support you in turning your idea into a business.
Whether you are at the idea, concept or business stage we welcome you to apply and look forward to following your journey! The only two requirements for applying are that you are a student or recent graduate and have a business idea!
Stages of the Entrepreneurial Journey
PROOF OF IDEA
Talking to people about your idea and getting initial feedback from users and customers is the first step on the journey of taking your idea and turning it into a sustainable business.
PROOF OF CONCEPT
In this phase you test your hypotheses, by developing proto/pretotypes and approaching potential customers to learn about their problems and if your product/service can fulfil their needs.
PROOF OF BUSINESS
If you have proven your concept, maybe by seeing traction from first customers, the next steps are to build your concept into a viable and sustainable business.
Get Started
CSE will support you and your start-up throughout all these steps, and you can apply no matter how far you’ve come!
Not ready to apply for the full Proof Programme just yet? Stop by CSE for Open Wednesday, every Wednesday between 14-16h. to get feedback on your ideas and learn about your next step. No need to book an appointment - just show up at CSE on the 1nd floor, and we will be there to let you present your ideas and give you feedback on what your next steps could be.
