Build Up Labs
Also known as Build Up Labs Incubator
Incubator Lisbon, Portugal Since 2020 builduplabs.com
Overview
Lisbon venture studio that builds its own digital products and, since 2020, also runs an incubator for outside founders. The incubator is certified by IAPMEI for Portugal's Startup Visa, so many participants are non-EU founders using Lisbon as a base for Europe.
What startups get
Paid membership rather than investment: a Community Program at €75 per month (three-month minimum) or a Personalized Support Program with a monthly fee, offering mentoring, investor and partner introductions, events and optional coworking. The incubator states it does not invest or take equity.
