Method for value driven incubation.

Purpose and goal

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Value-driven incubation moves innovative companies from a need-driven capital raising to a maturity-driven one. It also means that the understanding that loan-financed development, and its advantages, increases. The average incubation period is also expected to decrease for two reasons. The companies build value faster, and can thus leave incubation earlier. Clear indicators of an end to incubation, when stagnation can be identified more easily and clearly.

Expected effects and result

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Our hypotheses, based on the experiences of Creates MVP, are as follows: The percentage of applied for investment rounds from incubator-affiliated innovative companies that succeed will increase by 20%. The number of applied for and granted innovation & growth loans from incubated innovative companies will increase by 10%. The incubation period for an average innovative company will decrease by 10%. Staff turnover for incubators using the method will decrease by 10% after the first year.

Planned approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The preliminary study is intended to be carried out through a qualitative method through in-depth interviews. The first step is to develop an interview template, to then carry out the interviews, carry out analysis of received responses and from there develop a concept that can be implemented in the entire incubation system. This concept must be presented in written form and a request for interest must be sent out to all 32 incubators. The selection of interviewees must reflect the gender distribution among business developers at the incubators.
