About The Silicon Mountain Project

The Silicon Mountain Project is run and operated by battle tested entrepreneurs who have done it and still at it. They understand from first-hand experience the complexities of putting ideas into action and scaling them. They will be bringing to the table all their experience, know-how, insights and contacts to help entrepreneurs at all stages of their business development and entrepreneurial journey from idea to building the most successful business possible.

Each year, we hand pick early-stage entrepreneurs with an idea or company to join one of our mentorship-driven incubator or accelerator programme, investing and providing hands-on mentorship and access to The Silicon Mountain Project Network. 

So, no matter what phase of building your business you are in… The Silicon Mountain Project can support!

Mentors and resource personnel will come from retired company executives and individuals with workforce experience.

Our network will support entrepreneurs by providing accessibility to capital, mentoring, finding customers, hiring talent, choosing the right infrastructure and so on… 

Entrepreneurs will also be exposed to Business and Social Etiquette and Personal development so as to build out a more rounded professional. Too often we see instances of entrepreneurs who do not know how to act at formal occasions, a meeting with other professionals and team members, or with some family members or friends. 

As an Incubator, Accelerator and Innovation Hub, with a decided focus on next generation technology, it is expected that entrepreneurs and their business will exit the project contributing in the first instance to the central Jamaica region, expanding out into the wider Jamaica and Caribbean market spaces, leading and contributing to the growth of these economies.
