Umbra is where products take root.

We partner with founders to turn early-stage ideas into validated, investor-ready products . Our incubation model blends startup speed with venture discipline, guiding founders from concept to scale through a structured, hands-on process.

More than mentorship

It's co-creation.

Umbra doesn't just advise founders. We build alongside them. Each project receives a dedicated cross-functional team across product, design, engineering, and growth. Our approach is collaborative, measurable, and relentlessly focused on moving from idea to market.

“Great companies start as hypotheses. Our job is to prove them.”
— Kevin Battista, Founder & CEO

Our Process

Three phases to scale

Phase I

Ideation

Ideation
IDEATION

From idea to validated concept.

We help founders clarify the problem, challenge assumptions, and test feasibility fast. Through focused discovery and rapid prototyping, we determine whether an idea is viable, valuable, and worth building.

Outcome: A validated concept with clear evidence and a defined path into development.

Phase II

Development

Development
DEVELOPMENT

From validated concept to working product.

We turn strategy into execution by refining the vision, defining the technical blueprint, and building the MVP through iterative sprints, then prepare the market for launch.

Outcome: A live MVP with early users, real feedback, and a roadmap for growth.

Phase III

Scale

Scale
SCALE

From working product to independent company.

We support founders through hiring, revenue development, and operational structure. At eighteen months, each product reaches a decision point to graduate, pivot, or sunset.

Outcome: A self-sustaining, scalable company equipped for long-term success.

The Results

Each Umbra company moves from zero to one through measurable progress and disciplined iteration. Our process turns vision into value and gives every idea the chance to take root and grow.
