Cool .. I found those incubator have interesting pathways : http://www.yedinstitute.org/. - https://www.launchacademy.ca/.

Hi Danny8695, thanks for your info. May I ask if you contacted one of these incubator and successfully receive Support Letter? I find launchacademy is interesting!

I have been recently accepted into one of the incubator programs after interview and supposed to take a intensive course of 2 weeks. Does it take a lot of time to get the letter of support as the business is very serious in need to get into market soon.

Hi kshukla, I have been searching this program for months. There are also some agents contacting me and asking for a lot of money but im not sure if they will do like what they say. May I know what incubator are you working with?

Be very careful of agents asking for lots of money. 99% of the time it's a scam.

I presume you have gone through this list?

Have you had any success contacting these organizations? Has anyone shown interest in your venture? In addition, are you applying to other incubators (Ycombinator, for example)?

I havent, people here said i might get cold contact. So I need to be very careful before contacting them in the first time.
Any advise for the first impression?

If you're going to run a successful startup, the very first thing you need to learn is to not be afraid to ask for money. You need to be sure you're going to change the world! No one has ever seen an idea like yours! You're a disruptor! etc. etc. You need to be OK with rejection as well.

That's how you get $$$ funding for stupid ideas like Juicero and Yo!

Source: Close friends who have collectively raised millions from various SV VCs. The advice I'll give you is to read some of the bazillion articles on raising money and start to put that into practice.

I don't have any other specific tips for you, sorry. Good luck.
