YUBI Incubate
Incubate is for someone who understands a problem better than almost anyone and hasn’t been able to build the thing that would solve it. We become the technical side of the work.
Summary
What YUBI Incubate is
Our earliest and longest support, for people whose understanding of a problem is far ahead of their ability to build anything.
- What it gives
- AI agents working alongside you through the early work: building the software, and everything underneath it.
- Who it is for
- People at the earliest stage who understand a problem deeply and haven’t been able to build the thing that would solve it.
What you get
What YUBI Incubate gives you
- A standing commitment
- Not a delivery window. We hold the technical side while you hold everything else, and stay long enough to see decisions play out.
- Idea to working system
- Turning something that only exists in conversation into something that runs. We pick what to build first, so early effort goes into whatever proves or disproves the idea.
- Judgement on the early calls
- AI agents that work as software development experts, under our direction, for the decisions that are hardest to get right at the start.
Scope
The kind of work this covers
Examples, not a menu. We design the grant around what is missing from your work, so it follows your application.
- A first working version so the idea can be tested with real users
- The technical foundations, before anything else can be built on top
- Being the technical side of the work through an early pilot
- Turning what you know from doing the work into a system others can use
Fit
When YUBI Incubate is the right one
- You understand the problem deeply and have not been able to build it.
- The work is early and needs a partner, not a delivery.
- Progress has stopped because the thing that would solve the problem does not exist.
Not sure? Apply anyway. Picking the grant is our job. Every application is reviewed by a person. AI does not decide who receives support.
