Our Process
We streamline and accelerate the development of local startups by putting together, a structured process, our
extended expertise in the startup field, and a resource-sharing system.
Our process is based on strong Product Management and Lean Startup methodologies.
Incubation
Melt’s main objective is to help our very early-stage startups and founders quickly validate their business and products ideas and
advance over the “Product/Market Fit” stage (see startup development phases from StartupCommons).
Each project is run through our well-defined acceleration program with a structured learning path and relevant
milestones and metrics.
Main concepts and topics:
- Design Thinking
- Lean Startup
- Customer interviews
- Introduction to Product Management
- Business models & pricing strategies
Leverage our network of mentors and advisors
Each startup has different needs, so we apply our expertise to match the startups and founders with the right
mentors and advisors they need. This is done both through a continuous direct matching process run by our team and
also in the form of periodically organized fast-dating events where the incubated startups have the chance to meet
and discuss with various mentors and domain experts.
