Dirigo Labs has announced the Dirigo Launch Incubator Program, designed to support innovative startups from ideation to pre-seed stages.
Starting in September, the comprehensive eight-week program offers a robust foundation for early ventures, equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the complex startup landscape, according to a news release from Dirigo Labs.
As a result of the success of Central Maine Growth Council’s Dirigo Labs Accelerator Program, this expanded initiative will feature a series of virtual workshops, tailored homework assignments and dedicated office hours to help startups explore their markets, identify target customers and plan for early-stage fundraising. Participants will receive specialized support for federal Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) grant applications. Customized technical assistance will be provided for startups and entrepreneurs in clean technology sectors.
Participants will gain access to Bricks Coworking & Innovation Space in downtown Waterville for collaborative work space.
Applications for the Dirigo Launch Incubator Program are now open; interested startups are encouraged to apply. For more information, visit www.dirigolabs.org/dirigo-launch-incubator or email Emalee Hall at [email protected].
