Revenue model

1. Incubation and acceleration program fees: The incubator operates cohort-based programs for pre-incubation (La Percée, 3 months), incubation (La Traversée, 6 months), and sector-specific programs (Pass Talents Energies, Alpes Tourisme Lab, Student Entrepreneur pathway). Programs are free or low-cost for participants, suggesting public funding from Chambéry-Grand Lac économie and regional partners rather than direct program fee revenue.
