Performance Program
Performance Program revolutionises traditional incubator coaching!
Our customer companies will not fall into the pitfalls of many startup entrepreneurs
The Performance Program coaching is built around three themes: developing performance, the team and growth culture.
Performance is based on many factors, such as recovery, sleep, nutrition, physical health and stress management. In addition to promoting performance, we reinforce the growth companies’ growth culture. Growth culture is built on a healthy and safe working environment, strong employer image and a true feeling of community.
The People section of the Performance Program focuses on themes such as smooth teamworking, strong leadership work, developing individual skills, recognising your own strengths and appreciating the diversity of team members.
Studies show that work ability is the most vital aspect and tool of a manager. The content of Performance Program gives concrete tools for the successful management of growth companies, with regard to individual performance, team operations and company culture alike.
A detailed coaching programme as well as several shared coaching events and potential camps have been compiled for the Performance Program. A customised coaching path will be built for each company. The incubator agreement includes a commitment to the Performance Program.
We coach the highest-performing and healthiest growth entrepreneurs
The challenge of many companies is that the well-being and health of the entrepreneur cannot handle the entrepreneur’s workload. More and more people are working at the cost of their own well-being. The structures of many young startup companies are still being built and working in an environment strongly focused on growth requires the ability to manage all aspects of business as well as the skill to manage yourself and others. Our duty is to train growth entrepreneurs to be able to manage the demands and pressures brought on by growth.

The pilot study of the Performance Program
The Performance Program was tested as a half-year-long pilot with the Startup Factory’s first incubator customers, starting from October 2019.
A total of 86% of the Performance Program’s pilot participants felt that they experienced many positive effects in at least one subject of the training. Most positive effects took place in the sectors of sleep and self-knowledge, such as recognising one’s own strengths and weaknesses as well as identifying and developing the limits of one’s performance.
In total, 86% of the respondents felt that these sectors had improved a great deal or somewhat as a result of the training, and a further 70% said that a suitable diet and exercise had helped them find more energy in their day-to-day life. For many, the coaching also had many beneficial effects on their stress control, for example on recognising how much they are able to work without compromising their performance.
