Common questions about the onboarding process
Yes! The onboarding process is open to students, professionals, and entrepreneurs across India. We welcome participants from all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you're a college student with a fresh idea or a professional with industry experience, we encourage you to apply.
Our refund-backed model means that if your startup reaches certain milestones (like funding or revenue targets) within a specified timeframe, the development costs are refunded. This aligns our success with yours and ensures we're both invested in building a successful venture. Specific terms will be shared with selected participants.
No, you don't need a full pitch deck for the initial application. A 2-5 slide presentation or a short description of your idea is sufficient. If you're shortlisted, we'll help you develop a complete pitch deck during the bootcamp. The focus at this stage is on the core idea and problem-solution fit.
The final pitch will be conducted online, allowing participants from across India to present their ideas to our panel of judges without the need for travel. We'll provide all the technical support needed for a smooth online presentation experience.
After the onboarding phase, you'll have a functional MVP ready for launch. We'll continue to provide support through our network of mentors and advisors. Additionally, we'll help connect you with potential investors and provide guidance on scaling your startup. Our goal is to set you up for long-term success.
