STARTUP KIT

Ready to grow together?

Every successful initiative starts from the definition of an agile, fluid and shared working method. That’s why we created a Startup Kit to work together effectively and efficiently; the kit will guide you through the different steps of our collaboration process and will help you integrate easily into our ecosystem.

1 - LET'S MEET

A fully digital platform

We use a full-digital approach, allowing you to get on board as soon as possible and start working together right away. You can upload your project online wherever you are. Our innovation team will take care of you.

2 - LET'S WORK TOGETHER

The best solution for your project

The proposals that convince us the most will be disclosed to our top management. During this stage, we will figure out which type of partnership best suits your proposal.

– Joint development of the solution
– Pilot project or prototype of the solution
– Scale-up of the solution
– Corporate Venturing

3 - WE SUPPORT YOU

An agile process

We simplify the processes to be up and running as soon as possible. You can sign a digital contract in one week, getting 50% advance payment as you sign, if you have less than 5 million in revenue. Our payment terms are within 30 days.

4 - WE'RE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

A mentorship program developed for you

We immediately put one of our team members at your disposal to support you on your journey; they will be your reference and focal point and will help you integrate with the whole network.

5 - WE NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF EACH OTHER

An agile and ongoing partnership

Our platform will be the virtual place that will allow us to constantly be in touch with each other, during all of the stages of the project, to work together in the most efficient way possible.
