Why we picked it
A 25-year-old, university-anchored incubator that runs distinct tracks by stage and by founder type, including strong women-founder and social-impact programs, making it a concrete India example of how to match yourself to the right program rather than a one-size-fits-all cohort. Especially useful for students, women founders and impact-driven builders.
- Separate tracks for idea/prototype stage (Launchpad, Campus Founders) and growth stage, apply to the one that fits your stage.
- Runs women-focused programs (Women Startup Program, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women) with dedicated mentorship and funder access.
- Sector-specific programs span healthcare, climate, mobility, fintech and renewable energy.
- Backed by IIM Bangalore's brand, faculty and alumni network, signalling and connections beyond just a desk.
