इस ग्रांट के बारे में
ACE is a high-touch, founder-first accelerator designed for early-stage AI and deeptech startups building globally relevant products. The program is built for founders who move beyond demos and focus on delivering real customer value through strong problem understanding, fast execution, and disciplined product development.
Unlike traditional accelerators, ACE embeds deeply with founders, operating like a co-founding partner over a six-month period. Startups receive hands-on support from AI researchers, experienced entrepreneurs, and global operators across product, go-to-market, hiring, and fundraising.
The accelerator focuses on helping founders sharpen their ICP, iterate products through real user feedback, launch focused GTM strategies, and prepare for institutional fundraising. Selected teams receive founder-first capital of up to ₹93 lakh, along with access to a global customer advisory board spanning the US, Europe, and Singapore. Only a very small cohort is selected to ensure deep, personalized engagement.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Is ACE open to Indian founders?
Yes. ACE by Invention Engine is based in Delhi NCR and is primarily designed for Indian founders. Teams should be willing to relocate to Delhi NCR for the majority of the six-month programme.
Do founders give up equity for the ₹93 lakh?
ACE describes the capital as founder-first and equity-free. However, confirm the exact terms with Invention Engine before applying, as accelerator arrangements can include advisory equity or convertible instruments.
What stage should my startup be at?
Startups should typically be operational for 6–12 months with a working product or MVP and at least early users. College founders with a working product may also apply.
Is the programme only for AI startups?
The programme is focused on AI and deeptech startups building globally relevant products. Pure software-as-a-service without a meaningful AI or deeptech component is unlikely to be selected.
How competitive is the selection?
ACE deliberately accepts a very small cohort to provide high-touch, co-founding-level support. Competition is high — teams are evaluated on founder capability, depth of problem understanding, and product vision.
What non-monetary support does ACE provide?
Selected founders get hands-on support from AI researchers, experienced entrepreneurs, and global operators across product, go-to-market, hiring, and fundraising, plus access to a global customer advisory board spanning the US, Europe, and Singapore.
