We invest in founders at the earliest stages

We are a network of experienced investors, advisors, and builders who aim to promote human flourishing by working with founders at the earliest stages of their journeys, even before an idea has been fully formed or product has been built. Over the last 10 years we’ve worked alongside founders to test ideas, build teams, develop products, and successfully go to market.

The Details

Eight Weeks in length
Two live sessions per week; Tuesday and Thursday at Noon PT/7pm UTC (asynchronous recordings available)
Open office hours available every week with the team
Access to the Prota Ventures Network of experts and advisors
Regular cohort based work sessions to help each other out
One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from YC founders [regarding startup life] is it’s harder than they could have ever imagined, because they didn’t have a framework for the sort of work and intensity a startup entails.

How the Incubator Works

We’ve been able to help our founders achieve some of the highest success rates of any incubator that we’re aware of by mentoring them through a proven framework that has helped idea stage founders create and launch billion dollar unicorns like Figment, and fast growing brands like Stix and Bird Buddy. Founders can bring their own ideas, or adopt one of the projects we’ve already built.

From idea to exit

As experienced founders and investors, we’ve designed our program to offer the support we wish we had when getting started. Prota Labs will support you as you grow your idea into a business, and Prota Capital helps successful businesses scale via equity financing. This holistic founder support has resulted in industry leading returns for founders and investors. We look forward to meeting you and hearing about your idea.
