BluePrint is a national startup funding and incubation platform designed to support founders from the ideation stage through Series A readiness. Launched as a flagship initiative under Synapse 2026, the annual management fest of N. L. Dalmia Institute of Management Studies and Research, the program is built to help founders develop ventures with clarity, credibility, and long-term scalability.
The initiative is powered by Venture Catalysts++, India’s first integrated multi-stage venture capital ecosystem, and is supported by Startup India and DPIIT in collaboration with apna. BluePrint embeds real investors, operators, and institutional mentors directly into the founder journey, ensuring that evaluation, feedback, and capital conversations are aligned with real-world venture standards.
Through a combination of structured mentorship, institutional incubation support, and a pledged funding pool of up to USD 500,000, BluePrint creates an outcome-driven ecosystem where founders refine their business models, strengthen their narratives, and prepare for serious fundraising and growth. The program culminates in a live Demo Day designed to mirror authentic founder–investor interactions.
