We put a lot of emphasis on a well-balanced team. We will ask the team to present the idea along with the execution plan and support required once you apply for the program. A core team and expert panel team consisting of senior management will evaluate the team and the idea.

We generally prefer small teams consisting of 2-3 entrepreneurs. Starting up a company is a heavy-lifting job, so we discourage single-person companies; we would request you find a co-founder or inform us prior to searching for a co-founder in several startup events that happen across the country.

We look for the following qualities in the team: passion, dedication, clarity of thought, tenacity, and agility.

We will try our best to get back to you within 15 Days.
