Expertato is a pioneering platform where expertise meets innovation, brought to life by the visionaries at OpenTeams Incubator. At the core of our foundation is a shared belief in the transformative power of open source software and the boundless potential it holds for shaping the future of technology and business.

OpenTeams Incubator stands as a beacon of progress in the business incubation landscape. We are dedicated to nurturing, funding, and propelling the success of startups that are committed to innovating with open source licensed software. Our journey has been fueled by firsthand experiences and challenges in the realm of open source entrepreneurship. Our team’s collective expertise is not just theoretical; it’s practical, proven, and powerful. We’ve been instrumental in the creation and growth of open source technologies that have revolutionized industries, evidenced by over one billion downloads and tens of millions of active users across platforms like Anaconda, NumPy, PyTorch, and SciPy.

Recognizing the hurdles faced by nascent ventures, Expertato was conceived with a dual mission: to revolutionize the way startups engage with business advisors and to streamline the process of deal-making and integration with early adopter clients. We understand that the journey of a startup is multifaceted, requiring not just innovation but also strategic collaborations and integrative solutions that allow founders to stay focused on what they do best – creating unparalleled products and services.

An innovative collaboration with academic partners has further enriched the Expertato ecosystem, marrying the realms of experiential learning and professional growth. This synergy has enabled us to offer emerging professionals, whom we call Experiential Scholars, a platform for not just gaining real-world experience but also securing long-term career opportunities, all while contributing to the global open source entrepreneurship movement under the watchful eye of seasoned mentors.
