About Project Seedbed (Pre-incubator)
Valnalón Incubator advises entrepreneurs who want to create their own business.
At the incubator you can have advice to take the right decisions. Questions like:
What can I do to have clients?,
How much would my product cost? Or
Shall I have a loan to put my project into practice hacer?,
Are difficult at first. We already know it. Not everybody has had the opportunity to grow in an entrepreneurial environment. It is not common to have the adequate preparation to answer all these questions properly.
Our compromisse is to help entrepreneurs to get prepared, to plan, and to develop abilities that would make their initiative something effective. To reach the goals, one must be constant and keep the initial enthusiasm. In our Project Seedbed (Pre-incubator) you will have the support to achieve your goals.
Our Project Seedbeds (Pre-incubators) are designed with the main scope of advising about the economic viability of our initiative. These pre-incubators are for free and they improve the formation and empleability of the people advised there, no matter whether these people start their business or not.
Do you need a place to plan how to start your business, be in touch with suppliers /purveyors, or future clients? Do you think that a personal advising would be useful for you until you start your business? If your answers to these questions are "yes", welcome to our Project Seedbed (Pre-incubator)!
