Process
India Fund Fest welcomes applications from all sectors/industries & any stage of business (including pre revenue, pre profit & post profit).
The entrepreneur will have to register through the link on the website. The leading experts will shortlist the companies based on the information shared in the application form & the pitch deck shared. The experts have the authority to either select the companies directly for the Pre-Finale or in case of any identified gaps, experts will give their feedback & suggest to fill the gaps on their own or suggest to join Investor Readiness Bootcamp
If suggested for the Investor ReadinessProgram, our team will reach out to you to share further details. The suggestion to Bootcamp implies that the startup is fundamentally fundable however lacks or needs improvement in aspect of financial, pitching or business plan preparedness before approaching investors.
Investor Readiness Program is not compulsory to join however the gaps are important to be filled.
If selected for Pre-Finale, the applicant will be required to pitch in front of the Jury. Once selected by Jury post video conference, this will be followed by submission of documents (pitch deck, business plan, financials etc) for the Finale.
If not selected, our team will reach out to you & share the communication & you are welcome to re-apply in our next edition.
The participants from the Investor Readiness Program & the Pre-Finalists will get to pitch to the Jury in October’20, via video conference. The Jury will select Top 20 who will then pitch in front of selected Investors in the Finale in November’20.
