On January 23, 2026, KisStartup officially announced the KisStartup Incubation Program 2026, built on a distinctive incubation model where technology and cultural heritage meet at their most critical intersection: the market.
In 2026, KisStartup is not merely looking for good ideas. We accompany teams that are ready to translate value into real business models—models that generate revenue, create social impact, and demonstrate long-term sustainability.
Techbloom – Leap to Market
Technology Startup Incubation – From Product to Market
Techbloom is an incubation and investment program designed for technology startups that already have a product foundation (MVP or prototype) and are standing at the threshold of entering the real market.
The program focuses on:
-
Real-world market validation
-
Refining business models and go-to-market strategies
-
Connecting with customers, partners, and investors
-
Strengthening operational readiness and fundraising capacity
Techbloom is suited for both domestic and international tech startups seeking to grow in Vietnam and the region—especially in a market environment that demands speed, pragmatism, and strong execution capability.
H2M – Heritage to Market
Incubation on Cultural and Heritage Foundations
H2M is an incubation program for startups that leverage cultural and local heritage values, combining modern business thinking and technology to build sustainable, community-responsible business models.
H2M focuses on:
-
Translating cultural values into market-ready products and services
-
Designing ethical business models that are fair to heritage-owning communities
-
Developing creative, cultural, and sustainable tourism
-
Increasing social impact alongside economic performance
H2M is for projects that believe preservation and business are not opposing forces, but can reinforce one another when designed thoughtfully and responsibly.
The Parallel Incubation Model – What Sets KisStartup Apart
TECHBLOOM and H2M are designed as two independent tracks, sharing a common operating philosophy:
-
Incubation is not for “showcasing,” but for entering the market
-
Growth is not linear, but achieved through phase shifts and breakthroughs
Both tracks apply:
-
Rolling admission and project intake
-
Hands-on training, coaching, and practical mentorship
-
Connections to startup ecosystems, partners, and investors
-
A clear pathway from idea/product → market → investment
-
Additional human resources embedded into projects to accelerate validation and market entry
