Review of Application

A startup seeking for incubation, applies by filling the application form and sharing the Business Plan.

The Review Committee - Experts in the domain of startup business and other Business Mentors, along with internal team, scrutinize the application and invite the startup for a pitch. Post discussion on area of business operation, the USP, market sizing and plans to build startup, decision is made whether to incubate startup or not.

The startup then officially sign an MOU with CTIE and get incubated.

Ideation

Typically, startups joining at pre – incubation phase is still not sure on the idea they are working on. Hence there is a one on one discussion of the startup promotor with the internal team to know, their journey so far, and what support they need in the time to come. These objectives are precisely listed out for the startup promotor as well as the incubator – to support the growth of startup.

Entrepreneurs who apply for Pre – incubation are from various backgrounds –

  • Students
  • Faculty
  • Alumni
  • Entrepreneurs External to the Institute
  • TIDE 2.0 – Entrepreneurship in Residence grant

Review of Startup

Cost & Timeline

Pre – Incubation is generally between three to six months depending on the domain of operation, entrepreneur’s attitude to adapt to change, progress on work carried out in materialising the idea leading to possible solution.
