Three phases to graduation pitch
The participants undergo three work phases and take part in a final graduation pitch in October. After team building and outlining the start-up idea, the second phase focuses on customer acquisition, testing and feedback. The business model is then elaborated and the team prepares to seek capital among other tasks. The prototypes remain the property of the idea providers. On completing the Media Lift Incubator, the project can be funded and developed with stakeholders in Hamburg's start-up ecosystem or transferred back to the company and without giving up shares.
