Startup Builder is a unique programme in Croatia that connects industry, scientific research institutions and the startup ecosystem with the aim of starting and developing deep-tech startups.

The programme is intended for researchers and students who want to test the potential for commercialization of their research results.

The programme is structured in three phases, from the validation of the idea – through business plan development – to the first investment, with continuous support from the Nuqleus team and mentors from scientific, investment and business circles.

Nuqleus' programme is supported by a large network of more than 50 top mentors from three different fields: business development, finance and law, and science and technology, as well as fourteen domestic scientific and research institutions and an Investment Committee whose members come from top companies and investment funds.
