We’ll guide you from planning to launching something that people actually want. Perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, or anyone with an idea they want to bring to life.
Your idea deserves a shot. We’ll help you take it to market.
Idea to Market is a 3-week hands-on pre-incubation program that helps you turn your idea into something real, a clear, market-ready plan you can launch with confidence. You’ll test your idea, refine your strategy, and build something people actually want all while working alongside other innovators who are just as driven as you. This isn’t a course. It’s a launchpad. And your idea is the next big thing waiting to take off.

Each week of this program is strategically crafted to take you through the process of refining your idea and getting it ready for the market.
You learn how to identify what a great idea is, you take a crash course on various ways to conduct a market survey, and then you will be led to conduct deep market research to see if your idea is even needed anyway. You will literally 'hit the street' and do your market research and user survey.
Now that you have data to show the viability of your idea, in Week 2, we will analyse the data, guide you to choose the right business model, and then work with you to build your first crappy MVP/White Paper/Brochure or anything you can offer to get in your first adopters or bring people to your waitlist.
In week 3, we will lead you to build your plan to go to market and get your first set of customers / adopters / users / waitlist. Then help you understand how to build a great starting team, how to understand the legal side of the business, and then work with you to build your pitch deck to start applying for funding and support.
Equilibrium Zone is a Venture Studio, providing operational, strategic and funding support to founders building solutions to solve problems and harness emerging market opportunities. Ventures we have supported have generated and raised millions of dollars. Our awards and recognition speak! You are in safe hands.
Everything you need to know about the program
The program and the whole experience is 100% virtual. This also gives you the advantage of connecting with cohort mates across the world.
We welcome ideas at any stage.
Everyone is welcome.
Nope, you should actually still come onboard.
Even if you have been running for years, joining a program like this helps you rethink what you are working on, gives you a fresh lens and perspective, helps you reassess the market and also rebuild for what is relevant right now.
If you feel you are lacking a touch of what is really working and feels you are constantly running around circles, you should be in this program!
Well, how bad do you really want this?
Think about the last time you had a major break, taking multiple courses while in university, taking a professional course while working full time, helping a friend seeing a project through?
Great things comes at a cost!
That being said, 2-3 hours daily is ideal to dedicate to this.
You will do great!
We don't know why you might need this 😅, but we will provide a certificate of completion for the program.
