What?
The New Media Incubator is a six-month programme for Europe-based new media ventures and early-stage publishers building on existing ideas. The programme supports publishers with a minimum viable product launched in their target community at least six-months prior. Publishers will work to identify market gaps, gain deeper understanding of their audience’s information needs, to prototype a product and to continuously experiment, test and maintain their startup or a part of their business or content model. Successful applicants will have an elaborate and strategic approach to their business model, but need financial support and mentoring in implementing it.
Eligibility
Applying media should be a new media startup with existing market and audience research, a solid business case and the energy to grow. During the six months of the incubator, your team will receive support to further develop your business’ prototype. The activities carried out during the incubator will be in the service of experimenting, testing, identifying your community’s information needs and building your venture in a way that is set up with a sustainable foundation. Objectives that you will achieve during the incubator include gaining a deeper understanding of your target audience’s information needs, prototyping your news product in an effort to increase subscribers, achieving reader revenue and more.
Funding
New Media Incubator may cover any percentage of a project’s costs, up to 100 percent of the total. Co-funding is encouraged but not mandatory. Teams must declare any existing sources of funding on their application.
