The month of August was mainly for the legal clinic session which was meant to further delve into the legal concerns of the entrepreneurs in their various fields. The session was a one-on-one session conducted by the Clifford Chance Legal team and the  AB and Davids Legal team 

The subsequent two months were used to prepare for and recruit a new batch of entrepreneurs for the startup weekend which is a prerequisite for the next incubation cohort.

The team visited institutions of higher educational leanings, technical and vocational schools to do the recruitment for the startup weekend. A targeted online campaign was also made to reach out to the vast majority of young people with brilliant business ideas. The startup weekend will commence in November.
