Post-Validation
You have a validated product, early customers, users, pilots, or meaningful market feedback.
Next Orbit is JANUS Innovation Hub’s growth support program for startups that have moved beyond the early idea stage and are preparing for their next phase of development.
The program helps founders navigate key growth challenges, including market expansion, fundraising preparation, strategic partnerships, and building the capabilities needed to scale.
Unlike a fixed curriculum, Next Orbit is tailored to each company’s goals, challenges, and priorities. We work closely with founders through strategic guidance, execution support, and connections to relevant resources, partners, and opportunities.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Due to the hands-on nature of the program, we work with a limited number of companies at a time.
