UPNest is a free incubator based in Lisbon, designed for early-stage founders who want to build real and sustainable businesses.
Our Mission
UPNest was born from a simple belief:
Entrepreneurship shouldn't be a privilege; it should be a process accessible to everyone.
We help founders who often start with limited capital and big ambition to focus their energy where it truly matters: building something solid, not just something visible.
Our mission is to create the right foundations for real growth: giving entrepreneurs structure, mentorship, and a community that holds them accountable.
UPNest is free because most founders start undercapitalised.
The Founder
Jean-Robert Mouillet is assembling a world-class team of mentors dedicated to empowering the next generation of founders.
As the founder and director of a successful network of schools in France, comprising schools of computer science, communication and advertising, and applied arts, he brings a wealth of experience in mentoring talent and driving individuals to reach their highest potential.
Now, he is uniting an exceptional international team of tutors and mentors who will generously share their expertise and guidance with Upnesters, creating unparalleled opportunities for growth and success, all completely free of charges.
Sponsors & Partners
They empower UPNest by delivering invaluable resources, increased visibility, and exclusive opportunities for founders within our community.
