Incubation for international founders building viable, exportable businesses in Portugal — through Whole Business Design™.
As an incubator for Portugal's startup ecosystem, Think8 PT helps founders turn a bold concept into a viable, meaningful business — fully aligned to their goals and values, and built to reach a global market.
Our proprietary program, Whole Business Design™, gives founders the tools to build a startup that's aligned to their goals and fueled by their passion — and we keep the path simple and straightforward the whole way.

We look for entrepreneurs with innovative projects that can reach a global market — across a wide range of sectors.
Three connected stages take you from eligibility to your first day of incubation — Valid-8 → Formul-8 → Incub-8.
Beyond the three core questions, acceptance into the incubator depends on meeting our standards and policies.
You give Think8 PT permission to conduct due diligence on your personal, business, educational, and financial background.
You pass a criminal background check.
Once you've met every standard for acceptance, you're awarded the Think8 PT Letter of Engagement — and we begin the collaboration.
