The Know Hub Ignition Program is characterized by the application of a work methodology that permits the identification of technologies with high potential for transfer, together with teams that are capable of bringing these initiatives to the market through early validation processes with the industry and the venture capital ecosystem. At the same time, we work with the companies on all the elements related to technology (protection strategy and business model) and on the legal aspects related to the creation of companies that can perform adequately in the market and/or are prepared to raise capital investment.

In addition to training in the I-Corps methodology by international mentors from the University of California Riverside, the team also receives support from national mentors with vast experience in the national innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, which is valuable to the entrepreneurial team. Added to this mentoring service is the personalized support provided by the Know Hub Chile team on issues related to the business model, commercial prospecting, technology commercialization, intellectual property strategy, marketing, and roadmap design, among others.

The 10 selected teams will be assigned a Key Account Manager (KAM) or Project Executive, a member of the Know Hub Chile team who will be in charge of maintaining constant communication with the entrepreneurial team, as well as providing strategic support when required.
