Startup Incubator
It has often been said entrepreneurship is about solving problems.
In many cases this is true. However, if the user-experience is unknown or not fully understood, then an innovative solution becomes that much more difficult to implement.
Entrepreneurship Rarely Occurs Alone
Innovation usually involves a trusted partner to bounce ideas around and, in the process, contest one another. When the chemistry is right between the co-founders of the original idea — sparks fly. You get from your co-founder an early morning text with too many emojis — “call me, asap, I want to discuss an idea about our iOS and Android apps.”
Alternatively, in a more formal corporate setting, innovation occurs in a team environment.

Commercialisation
Let's say, you’re a doctor who wants to improve medication safety and adherence by visually organizing your patient's medication by pill type.
The co-founders are intent on developing a proprietary app that seamlessly uses a smartphone camera to scan medications placed against a specifically designed surface. This new and novel way identifies what medications are present.
The opportunity to unlock the commercial potential of your idea is constrained by the fact seed capital is not available to scan and ingest images: medications of various strengths and formulations into a database. In addition, this database would allow patients to track their medications verifying they are taking the right medications; and also share their data and habits with other health professionals including pharmacists, other doctors and hospitals.
The primary objective is to 'Build Out' the database which allows you to raise that large sum of strategic capital; and importantly, prove the commercial potential of your idea.
Valley-of-Death
Showing investors a product (ideally an MVP) increases your chances of raising strategic capital. 'Seeing is Believing' and without proof-of-concept examples, it's not uncommon to get stuck in the so-called 'Valley-of-Death'.
AppCurate looks forward to running through with co-founders our 'Valley-of-Death' diagrams.
2) Low Touch Curate
The co-founders have a good understanding of what they want.
For example, our enthusiastic co-founders have in their possession good documentation, consumer schematics, structured design concepts and early-stage wireframes resulting in the 'initial feasibility' of their idea to quickly transition to the Shape-It Phase.
Transitioning to the Build-It Phase is quite straight forward.
