Startups and the business incubators and accelerators nurturing them have experienced some huge unforeseen challenges. Corporations have had to pivot resources and personnel away from innovation and focus on survival. The new innovation initiative from UBI Global, called Save the Unicorns, is the meaningful collaboration the world needs now, and here is how to get involved.

Save the Unicorns is a startup initiative from UBI Global with the goal of keeping innovation efforts alive around the world. Our approach is two dimensional. One, to connect the innovation community with innovation-hungry corporate partners and, two, to communicate new technologies that startups need to thrive and become unicorns as they rise to the challenge of innovating through COVID-19.

The UBI Global team does all the creation and promotion, while all of the startup information is driven directly to your corporate innovation team so that you can begin collaborating immediately. Test the waters with a short but sweet one-month partnership or go full-on unicorn with three months of promotion. Save the Unicorns is about driving the innovation intelligence community to your team for a mutually beneficial impact.
Why Save the Unicorns?
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a large impact on startups, no matter the industry, and no matter the maturity level. Some of the best, most promising innovation is in danger of dying on the vine. At the same moment, corporations need to re-focus their innovation efforts to address a multitude of new challenges presented by the WFH culture shift, supply chain failures, and travel disruption just to name a few.
The positive activity within the UBI Global community throughout the pandemic has truly been inspiring. Our innovation intelligence community members have been even more active, and our membership has grown. The focus has shifted from benchmarking and best-practice sharing to seeking new ways to catalyze startup activity. Whether seeking venture capital or sourcing a new CRM system, business incubators and accelerators are still focused on moving forward and creating more unicorns.
