Description of the program

Entrepreneurs in the creative and cultural industries are not like other entrepreneurs. They work in complex, fragile economies and need to be supported by incubators that understand them. 

How to identify an appropriate economic model for projects that are often the fruit of the entrepreneur's passion? How to make the transition from artist to artist-entrepreneur? These are some of the questions addressed by the Pali Pali incubator through its Next Level support program. This program has already supported well-known players such as Delitoon, Five Oh, Live magazine, Poolpio, Modul-R, Collectible, etc.

The program focuses on the business development of the project (economic model, prototyping, market access, administrative and financial management), entrepreneurial skills, but also on its insertion in the ecosystem of cultural and creative activities.

The support costs 250 euros (excl. VAT) per month, giving free access to the Pali Pali workspaces.

Methodology

Pali Pali's methodology is based on two principles: the mix of cohorts (different types of projects to encourage collaboration) and the personalization of the support (to be as close as possible to the real needs of the companies).

The coaching is divided into two programs. First, the "fundamentals" to ensure that the entrepreneurs are supported by solid skills. And the "specific" programs from which the company chooses those that best suit it.

Support includes:

  • Entrepreneurship training (support focused on 4 pillars: from the idea to the business, digital strategy, the entrepreneur's posture, financing).
  • Individual and group training (excluding mentoring and networking evenings).
  • Access to a community of mutual aid (events, network), and to a network of experts (more than 300 alumni former entrepreneurs),
  • Access to the whole pali pali places as a working space.
