About the program
An 8-week Startup Incubation Program: from problem to investor pitch.
What we do
You have an idea. What's next?
With a startup idea, most people face the same questions: who needs this problem solved? How do I test it? Where do I start the product? What do I tell an investor?
Target Startup Studio doesn't hand you ready answers — you find them yourself over 8 weeks, in practice, together with mentors.

8-week journey
8 weeks — 8 stages
Every week your startup moves one stage forward. By the end you have real results you can present.
01 · Problem
Define the problem
Whose problem is it? How important is it? Why now?
What you leave with
You finish with a startup, not a certificate
After 8 weeks every team leaves with a Startup Package — what you need to talk to an investor.
- Validated problem
- Clear solution
- MVP / prototype
- Customer validation
- Business model
- Traction
- Investor pitch
Who it's for
Is the program right for you?
It's a fit if:
- You have a startup idea or an early-stage project
- You are ready to test the problem with real customers
- You can work on your startup every week for 8 weeks
- You have a team or are building one
It's not a fit if:
- You only want to talk about the idea, with no plan to build it
- You can't set aside regular time for 8 weeks
Give the next 8 weeks to your startup
Applications are open October 5–15. Each batch takes 10 teams.
