TBDC's tailored 3-month incubation programme is designed to help cutting-edge innovations enter the North American Market. Receive bespoke guidance and expertise from a dedicated programme manager and fractional executives with industry-specific and functional expertise. This accelerator programme includes incorporation assistance, office space for one year in the downtown Toronto core, and exclusive events, from networking with other founders to corporate innovation days with industry leaders. TBDC helps you connect with the vibrant and diverse startup ecosystem through curated one-on-one introductions. Surge is not just about preparing EIC Transition and Accelerator beneficiaries for the market; it's about propelling startups toward industry leadership. Join this programme to transform your startup into a powerhouse where innovation meets opportunity. For companies in TRLs 4 - 7, TBDC Surge will help founders understand supply chains, testing and regulatory processes, and help develop positioning and messaging for the North American market. For TRLs 8 - 9, TBDC Surge will focus the service more on helping founders with a Go-To-Market strategy, setting up North American offices, refining sales pitches, and introductions to clients and partners.
Flat programme fee of €10000, additional programming as per cost of service requested. There is variable pricing to be connected with our fractional executives outside of our programming sessions. Their fee varies based on the expertise of the specialist. We recommend a minimum of 10 hours over the three-month incubation period to better understand the North American Market.
