To participate in the project, the startup team must submit an application with a description of the idea on the website of the project garage.md . Twice a month, Simpals Garage will conduct a Crash Test, where teams will defend the project in front of the mentors.

Next, getting under the roof of Simpals Garage , the start-up teams will receive investments, convenient office and equipment necessary for the project, legal and accounting assistance, support in creating and launching the start-up team. Mentors and experts will direct the activities of teams in the right direction, will help sell the finished product. We will promote the finished tested project on the largest portals of Moldnet with a million audience. When the team leaves Simpals Garage , it will have a product with a working profit scheme that can interest strategic investors.



A week has already passed since the start of the incubator launch, and we are already in full swing receiving applications with a description of projects, typing more than 30. And already this past weekend, three projects were presented to the mentors, where for each job, the mentors of Simpals Garage made a number of recommendations and suggestions for optimizing start-ups and adapting to the local market.
