Genesis Evolve Pre-Incubator

In plain language

Genesis' 8-week customer-discovery sprint aimed at pre-company NL tech founders. No fee, no equity taken. You leave with a validated (or invalidated) problem statement, a scrappy business model, and — if promising — a path into the 3-year Enterprise incubator. Cohorts run twice a year (winter and summer/fall). The most-used entry point into the NL tech startup ecosystem and a prerequisite for several downstream programs (Mel Woodward Cup finalists get free admission; MaRS intelligence access is bundled for top teams). If you're in NL and don't know what you're building yet, start here.
