Ericeira Tech Hub

How it works

Three businesses, explained one at a time.

The Hub is in development. Below is what is decided, and what is still open. We would rather tell you than guess.

Fund

We invest early, before the architecture of a product is fixed. That is the only moment when privacy, data ownership and wellbeing can still be built into a system rather than bolted onto it. We look for founders who want that constraint, not founders who tolerate it.

Stage
Pre-seed and seed.
Sectors
Communication software first. Nanotechnology and quantum technology as the research matures.
Check size
Not fixed yet. Ask and we will tell you where we have got to.
How to apply
Send us what you are building. A working prototype counts for more than a deck.

Status: the fund is being raised. We are not deploying capital yet.

Incubator

The incubator gives a founder the two things that are hardest to buy: uninterrupted time and people who have solved the problem before. It runs inside the building, so the program and the daily work are the same thing rather than a series of scheduled sessions.

Founders receive
Workspace, mentorship, introductions, and capital where the fund invests.
Training
Focus, recovery and decision making under pressure, drawn from Norwegian special forces practice.
Program length
Not fixed yet. The first cohort opens when the building does.
How to apply
Tell us what you want to build and what is in your way. We reply within two working days.

Status: taking early applications so the first cohort is ready when the doors open.

Co-working

A desk in a building designed for concentration, with quiet zones, meeting rooms and open areas for the parts of the work that need other people. The café and the restaurant sit downstairs, so a working day does not require a car.

Membership includes
A desk, the meeting rooms, the events, and the founder and team programs.
Contribution
Members give a defined share of their skills to a project running inside the Hub.
Pricing
Not set yet. It will be published before memberships open.
Book a visit
The building is in design, so we meet in town or by video for now.

Status: taking names for the first memberships.

Render of the event space. People work at long tables and on tiered timber seating while someone presents at a screen, with the Atlantic through the windows.
The event and techathon space. Design render.

Applications are open to all three.

Tell us which one you want, and what you are building. One message reaches all of it.
