Elevate by IM (EIM)

Elevate by IM, also written EIM, is IM Global's AI-powered startup growth platform, bringing idea validation, mentorship and ecosystem support together in one place. It is organised as a four-phase journey.

What you get

• Alpha: for very early-stage startups, with basic guidance, idea validation, a draft business model, access to resources and community support
• Beta: refining business models, developing MVPs and legal compliance, with a structured approach to market entry
• Gamma: more advanced support, mentorship and funding guidance aimed at accelerated growth
• Sigma: the final phase, focused on expansion, fundraising, team building and strategies to scale
• Self-serve tools, including a Startup Idea Validator and a Business Model Generator

Who can apply

• Startups and founders, from very early-stage teams through to ventures scaling and raising funds

How to apply: Elevate by IM is accessed as a platform rather than through a cohort application. The site provides a login page for the platform and its tools, so founders reach it directly.
