Bae HQ’s IncuBaetor is our programme for first-time founders new to the startup world.

The goal is to help you to test your idea with structure & feedback. Starting a startup can be scary and you'll gain confidence in your path through the IncuBaetor.

All of the workshop content is available online!

The primary reason to take part in the IncuBaetor is to gain direct feedback through assignments.

Who is this for?

  • Anyone over the age of 18 in the UK can apply.
  • There's an even mix between those full-time on their startup and those who also have a job or studies.
  • You must be aiming to build a scalable tech-enabled product or consumer good.
  • You should be targeting £10M+ revenue minimum in the next 5 years.
  • You want direct feedback on your plans and raising capital is not your immediate priority.

If you aim to raise venture capital in the next 6 months, please consider our Bae Accelerator instead.

IncuBaetor Fellowship

Those who complete the programme and pass all the assignments become IncuBaetor fellows.

This comes with:

  • One 30-minute mentor session with a Bae HQ cofounder.
  • Three 30-minute mentor sessions with Bae HQ community mentors.
  • One social media feature on Bae HQ channels.
  • Exclusive invites to Bae HQ events and priority.

Those who pass with Merit or Distinction unlock further benefits!

Your key benefit comes from the act of actually doing the work to complete the assignments and the clarity it brings you.

"Thank you so much — I really appreciate this and I’m genuinely grateful for all the time, energy, and thought you’ve put into the IncuBaetor.

The IncuBaetor has been hugely valuable for me, particularly in sharpening how I think about customers, validation, and storytelling. I’m very grateful that you’ve made this accessible and supported founders so generously, and I’d absolutely love to give back and support the programme when I’m in a position to do so.

Thanks again for everything, and I hope you have a great end to the year."

"The IncuBaetor was really helpful in providing a shape to the start up journey.

The programme followed a logical and coherent format, starting with defining your value proposition, testing it with potential clients, and then looking to take action by creating a landing page and pitch, incorporating learning from the previous weeks of the IncuBaetor.

Having someone as experienced as Amar talk you through key concepts, lessons learned and current examples in the real world helped to reinforce the teachings from each week."

"Joining the IncuBaetor was very helpful for our startup. Amar and the team at Bae HQ have clearly put a lot of time and thought into designing this program.

The sessions were incredibly well-structured, insightful, and delivered in a way that made it easy to absorb and apply to our startup.  Highly recommend it to all early-stage founders."

The IncuBaetor is an invaluable programme that provides free guidance on how best to approach the start up sector and how to focus and double down on your idea. For me it has made my idea become a reality, I have a clearer idea of the next steps I need to take and how I can bring my idea to the market. For anyone with an idea or wants to enter the start up market, Bae HQ should be your first port of call!

"The programme gave me structure, momentum, and a chance to reflect, both on my idea and myself as a founder. The mix of practical tasks and personal insight was spot on. I’m walking away with confidence and a clear plan to keep building.

I also appreciated the genuine care and support from the Bae team. You’re not just learning how to develop an idea, you’re joining a community that’s there to grow with you."
