The process which accelerates the whole process of funding will require the entrepreneurs to apply through the link. The experts will evaluate the companies on basis of elevator pitch & pitch deck shared. Post selection for Pre-Finale the companies will be required to pitch in front of the Jury. If selected for Finale, the final participants will get an opportunity to pitch in front of Investors & get the deal on the spot & raise required amount of funds. The rules of the platform require the participants to raise that much amount of money as sought in the beginning or go back empty hand if unable to raise it. The platform does have Deal Masters to facilitate negotiation & conclude on the fair investor play between the entrepreneurs & the investors. The videos are available on YouTube channel of India Fund Fest & North East India Fund Fest.

Over the last few editions, in response to need of entrepreneurs who have brilliant ideas but have had the need to be mentored & coached for their financial aspects with more involvement of investors, has also driven us to launch an intensive program covering all of that. For the first time ever, India Fund Fest in partnership with Cultus & Orbit Future Academy has launched the Investor Readiness Program to get the companies Investor Ready before they finally pitch to the Investors & engage with them in a meaningful process to seek funds. The program aims to fill the gaps (if identified) to make the startups attractive for investors to invest in and smoothen their journey of seeking funds which is a lifetime process for an entrepreneur. However, this is solely based on assent by entrepreneurs opting for it & does not hamper their application in India Fund Fest.
