About Ascent Incubator

A Program for Entrepreneurs, Built by an Entrepreneur

I created Ascent Incubator to empower entrepreneurs everywhere—regardless of background, geography, or access to traditional startup ecosystems—to turn their ideas into thriving businesses. Innovation shouldn’t be confined to tech hubs, elite universities, or major metropolitan cities. I believe the next great business ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, and my goal is to provide the knowledge, tools, and structured support to help make them a reality.

As an entrepreneur, I have experienced firsthand the challenges of building, growing, and pivoting businesses across multiple industries—from running a rideshare business and real estate investments to launching Babel Travel, a lead-generation platform for ESL schools. My path has been filled with lessons, setbacks, and wins, and I’ve come to understand that entrepreneurial success is not about avoiding failure but about learning, adapting, and persevering.

That’s why I built Ascent Incubator—a step-by-step, AI-powered, online incubation program that helps founders move from idea validation to investor readiness in six months. The program is accessible worldwide and structured to allow entrepreneurs to learn at their own pace, with the first 30 days free.

Through a comprehensive curriculum, expert guidance, and AI-driven tools, this incubator helps you:
✅ Generate and validate business ideas
✅ Conduct in-depth market research
✅ Develop a minimum viable product plan (MVP)
✅ Build a solid business model and financial plan
✅ Craft an investor-ready pitch and navigate funding options

This is my contribution to the global entrepreneurial ecosystem—a program designed not just to teach theory, but to equip founders with real-world tools and frameworks to take action, test ideas, and build sustainable, investment-ready businesses.

Join the journey and start building your future with Ascent Incubator.
