To address the diverse needs of founders, the Rubik Hub team has structured the cohort into three dedicated tracks: 

• MVP & Growth Track (10 startups) – Developed in partnership with Orange, Fortech Investments, and Innovate-EU, this track supports startups ready to scale and attract investment. 
• Pre-MVP Track (16 startups) – Run in collaboration with Innovate-EU, it focuses on early-stage teams refining their product-market fit and validating their business models. 
• Ukrainian Track (15 startups) – Created together with Clusters4Health, this track supports founders building impactful medical solutions under exceptionally challenging circumstances. 

Participants in the MVP & Growth and Pre-MVP tracks will benefit from a comprehensive mix of hands-on workshops, peer-to-peer learning, investor meetings, AMA sessions, personalized coaching, and 1:1 mentorship. Ukrainian founders will receive dedicated mentoring from Rubik Hub community experts, each addressing the specific needs of their startups.
