What is Incub8 all about?
Incub8’s mission is to be a social business helping to support good causes through its community of nomadic freelancers, consultants working across international cultures. It aims to grow its community through the personal connection of Incub8 with its followers and the value its services bring. You can read about the founder here too.
Where is the platform based?
Incub8 is the tradename for our company registered in Hong Kong as Hubconsult Ltd (HK). Under our “one world, one company” philosophy, we avail you use of this company for a small fee rather than having to maintain a company yourself. You minimise your transaction costs, but can access invoicing and payments in a variety of major currencies including Euro (€), US$ and Sterling (£).
Who is Incub8 aimed at?
Good question! This partly depends on which of the three core services we are talking about.
Fundraising is suitable to anyone who wants to put their energy into campaigns for good causes. We hope to develop peer-to-peer fundraising tools to bring more value to this important area.
Our invoicing tool is especially useful for those on the move, don’t want to set up a company or even cannot because of the bureaucracy in their country or they are stateless. As we have been involved in international consulting on donor funded projects for many years, the target market we know best are international project consultants, digital nomads and those working across different cultures.
We all want to grow our business. Bidding lends itself to project teams, for example to UN Global Marketplace projects or other tenders. Coaches, trainers, event promoters, recruiters and so on will also find Incub8 helpful with tools which will be introduced.
Which tools does Incub8 provide?
The three core services are
1. Crowdfunding and fundraising
2. Invoicing
3. Growing your business.
How do I get set up?
Once you sign up and sign in with Linkedin or Google, you can start to collaborate with Incub8 and use its services, and interact with the community. Fundraise, invoice and grow your business.
Tell us about the founder of Incub8?
Incub8 was founded by Nick Norvell, who is British and been a consultant himself for many years, especially in the field of international aid projects around the world. If anything goes wrong, you can blame him! It’s even his picture you see on the front page on the bike on the London to Brighton ride for British Heart Foundation.
Who else is using Incub8?
We have had several clients using our invoicing service when it was called Hubconsult, clients that have stayed with us for many years. Our clients have been from Norway, Vietnam, Australia, UK – they have been engaged in international contracts such as hospitality management, consulting on climate for the UN, and human resource management consulting. (Hubconsult remains the name of the registered company for over 20 years.)
As we are rebranding as Incub8, we expert to diversify our community even more.
