Everything you need to know about the First Cohort application process
The ₹1,000 registration fee ensures we receive serious applications and helps cover the initial evaluation and processing costs. This fee is non-refundable but represents a minimal investment compared to the potential $3M+ funding opportunity.
Our expert evaluation team will review all applications based on criteria including business model viability, market opportunity, team experience, growth potential, and scalability. Only the top 15 startups will be selected to pitch in Dubai with sponsored travel included.
Selected startups will receive a minimum investment of $3 Million USD. This substantial funding is designed to help growth-stage startups scale significantly and expand their operations globally.
Selected founders gain access to a network of experienced mentors, industry experts, and successful entrepreneurs. This includes strategic guidance, business development support, market expansion advice, and ongoing mentorship throughout your growth journey.
No, we are sector-agnostic. We welcome high-potential startups from all industries including technology, healthcare, fintech, sustainable solutions, consumer goods, and more. What matters most is your growth potential and innovative approach.
Selected founders will be invited to Dubai for the pitch event with sponsored travel. You'll pitch to a panel of international investors, receive funding, gain access to our mentor network, and become part of an exclusive founder community.
We're looking for growth-stage startups with proven business models, demonstrated traction, and clear scalability potential. Very early-stage ideas or companies without any market validation are not suitable for this program.
No permanent relocation is required. However, selected founders must be available to travel to Dubai for the pitch event (travel sponsored) and should be open to potential future collaborations and meetings in the region.
