Partner Program for Startup Incubators and Accelerators
Program mission
Polarity provides software development and consulting tailored to early-stage startups and tech companies. We focus on ventures with strong growth potential, typically those backed by incubators, accelerators, angel investors, or VC funding. Our aim is to expedite development, preempt technical challenges, support growth, and maximize the odds of success. Through strategic partnerships with incubators and accelerators worldwide, we offer technical assessments to identify and address operational hurdles early on.
Feasibility:
Assessing whether the budget aligns with the startup's goals, taking into account team hiring, the speed of existing partnerships for external dependencies (e.g., timelines for publishing on mobile app stores), and development timelines.
Technological stack:
Analyzing programming languages, execution runtimes, external dependencies, cloud infrastructure and hosting models (e.g., VMs, container orchestration, serverless), data exchange protocols and formats, data persistence, observability (logging, monitoring, alarms, dashboards), DevOps practices (CI/CD pipelines, preview deployments), and scalability.
Compilance:
We analyze the startup’s compliance requirements based on its geography and industry vertical to determine whether it is adequately equipped to address regulatory challenges.
Team composition:
Reviewing the tech team, identifying key missing roles, and advising on hiring versus outsourcing trade-offs.
Opportunity
For incubators or accelerators in our partner program, Polarity offers an initial consultation to startups through the incubator or accelerator, free of charge as part of their program. The consultation is timeboxed to two hours and will be conducted by one of Polarity’s Tech Leads. Our Tech Leads have extensive experience in leading and completing multiple software development projects each year for tech companies and startups in areas such as Software-as-a-Service, Generative AI, Fintech, Digital Commerce, Advertising, and Media. Founders will receive a checklist of topics for the call and should come prepared to make the best use of the time.
Developed a global production infrastructure for SQLite database replication across 17 regions.
Created a regulatory-compliant, segregated cloud infrastructure for fintech SaaS, designed to provide tokenized digital securities for banks and financial institutions. Features include disaster recovery automation and self-service development environments and pipelines.
How to enroll
Polarity welcomes partnerships with incubators and accelerators that serve early-stage startups. Applications are reviewed based on candidate selection criteria, industry focus, and startup stage. Our goal is to partner with reputable incubators and accelerators that focus on early-stage startups, have a robust validation process we can trust, and offer sufficient investment to support growth. During the evaluation call, we will determine with the incubator or accelerator whether we can provide consultation to every new startup they enroll, or if additional eligibility criteria should be established.
