Phase 2 of Incite, which runs for seven months, focuses on accelerating sales by building a scalable and repeatable sales process using the GrowthX methodology for market development. GrowthX is a Silicon Valley based partnership that works with startups, companies and countries to help them commercialize innovation. It was founded by Max Menke, Will Bunker, Sean Sheppard and Andrew Goldner – all four are pioneers in the Silicon Valley startup ecosystem.
The program is centered around an online learning platform so companies can access the content as they need it.
Companies enrolled in Phase 2 also have a variety of funding opportunities including a $50,000 SAFE investment from New Brunswick Innovation Foundation and Innovacorp, a $25,000 cash prize with an additional $30,000 investment for the winner of the Gerry Pond Sales Award, and an investment readiness workshop. Propel will also host an investor-only demo day for Phase 2 companies in spring 2020.
