We try and support all early stage innovators with advice from INCATE management and access to our community and events. As part of this we help you prepare an application to the INCATE Selection Committee for acceptance in to Stage I. We may also give you the feedback at this stage that you are not ready for Stage I and why.

Stage I – The INCATE Selection Committee selects projects to be selected into Stage I. We may also invite you to discuss your venture in more detail with the INCATE Selection Committee or their representatives. We will publish a more detailed criteria over time but this is likely to include; Medical need targeted, innovation potential, likelihood of equitable access, team (a weak team is not a killer at Stage I but you need to build it!), Likelihood to develop a case for significant investment case within 24 months and our ability to help

Stage II – The committee will decide which ventures are taken into Stage II and the amount of funding based on the above criteria plus progress made.
