From the itBusiness.ca article: Elevator pitch videos from INcubes 3rd cohort

“Meet three startups… INcubes latest round… has a distinctly business-to-business approach, which stands apart from the consumer-focused products… in the past. Currently involved in a three-month acceleration program at INcubes’ new office, the trio of startups are currently honing their business models and products in time for their public debut on INcubes’ Demo Day, Feb. 27.”

“…TopThat is a web-based app, allowing people and businesses to create multi-media competitions and challenges. Competition managers have the ability to create pay-to-compete competitions.  Compete against friends and judge everyone. Create your own competition. Compete against your friends. Judge and be judged.”


“Videogami just pivoted its startup to focus on interactive videos geared towards teaching hands-on skills.”


“L4NP is a web app that provides training for high-quality volunteer talent, as well as matching skilled volunteers with charitable & non-profit organizations.”

Yahoo News: Toronto Incubator INcubes Embraces Tech Mavericks

Local start up incubator looks to turn Canadian tech pioneers into international sensations.

(PRWEB) January 13, 2012

INcubes, a Toronto-based start up incubator, has launched its headquarters in the heart of the city with the goal of fostering new technology pioneers. INcubes provides an intensive three month incubation program for start ups, an office space, shared services, access to angel and venture capitalists, and professional support. Mentors include former executives from organizations like IBM, CBC, The Business Development Bank of Canada, PWC, and Huawei.

INcubes offers a customized and condensed curriculum for start ups, with the goal on enriching each entrepreneur with the integral survival and growth skills necessary to take their business through funding to market.

“Unlike many other incubators, our program isn’t solely focused on acceleration. Instead, it’s about providing each start up with exactly what they need for success. As a privately run organization, we don’t have to conform to any ‘mold’ required by institutionalized or academic incubators.” said A. Traviss Corry, Director of Business Development at INcubes.

The team has already received pitches from businesses across Canada. After screening the initial submissions, they managed to narrow it down to forty finalists, including an open platform for cities, governments and NGOs, and a means to revolutionize digital receipts.

“The core concept of our business is to embrace the tech maverick. They have ideas that aren’t simple or easy, but foster change and opportunity for people all around the world. As the test market capital of North America, there’s no better city than Toronto to grow these thought-leaders and innovations,” said Ben Zlotnick, founder of INcubes.

INcubes is currently accepting applications for Startup INtake 02 Spring 2012. For details, visithttp://incubes.ca/for_startups.
