AC:Incubate

Run by Accelerator Centre.

AC:Incubate takes applications on a rolling basis in Waterloo, onboarding founders at the start of each month with no fixed programme length published. There is no cash investment; participants receive up to $600,000 in credits and discounts from partners such as HubSpot, AWS and Google for Startups, and the cost is described only as significantly reduced through partial government funding. The Accelerator Centre takes no equity, leaving founders 100% ownership of the company and its IP.
