The programme does not end at the decision

Winning teams become incubatee companies with a milestone timeline, a request queue with approval history, and mentors logged against real sessions.

How it works

After the decision, one record per company

The teams you fund carry their history forward without re-entering anything.

Incubatee companies

Winning teams become companies, automatically

Once a round closes, winning teams are carried into the portfolio as incubatee companies, each with its own stage, milestone count and history, without re-entering their details.

  • Created directly from winning teams
  • Stage tracked from seed onward
  • Milestone count visible at a glance
  • Full submission and evaluation history carried over

Milestones

A timeline the programme and the company both see

Each company has a milestone timeline the programme sets expectations against: incorporation, first pilot, seed round, and whatever the incubation agreement specifies.

  • Milestones marked done, in progress or upcoming
  • Dates recorded as they are reached
  • Visible to both the company and the programme team
  • Feeds the portfolio analytics view

Requests

Requests, with a real approval history

Companies ask for lab access, travel grants and other support through the portal; every request keeps who approved it, when, and any reason attached.

  • Requests raised by the company from their portal
  • Approved or declined by a programme admin
  • Full approval history, not just a current status
  • Filterable by company and request type

Mentors and analytics

Mentors logged against real sessions

Mentors are assigned to companies with their area of expertise on record, and every session is logged so a programme can see engagement across the cohort, not just intent.

  • Mentors assigned by expertise
  • Sessions logged per mentor, per company
  • Analytics roll up engagement across the portfolio
  • Session counts reset each quarter

FAQ

Questions about portfolio

How does a team become a portfolio company?
When a round closes and a team is selected for funding, its submission and evaluation history carries into a new incubatee company record automatically.
Who approves a company's requests?
A programme admin reviews and approves or declines requests such as lab access or travel grants, and the decision, the approver and the date are kept as history.
Can a mentor be assigned to more than one company?
Yes. Mentors are matched to companies by expertise and can hold sessions across several companies in the same cohort.
Do session counts carry over between quarters?
Session counts shown in the mentors table reset each quarter so engagement is easy to compare across periods.
Can milestone stages be customised per programme?
Ask your programme admin whether your programme's milestone set can be adjusted from the default incorporation, pilot and funding stages.
