The MIDITEC incubation program lasts for up to 24 months and offers two modalities: resident and non-resident, according to the needs of each startup. The startup's journey, the program involves three major phases: Start, lasting six months and focused on better understanding whether the solution proposed by the startup meets its client's pain, and for that it is necessary to test market hypotheses; Growth, which lasts one year and in which MIDITEC helps the startup to verify if its sales process is viable and if the product is profitable; that's why this phase is totally focused on sales so that the startup finds its sales machine; and Expansion, which corresponds to the last six months of the program, in which the startup already has its sales machine operating and is in the phase of preparing to scale and accelerate. At each stage, some key deliverables are required from the incubated companies, which gives them the status to advance in the program.
