What it is A working session for the people who run innovation hubs, incubators, accelerators, and economic development programs - and who are tired of the same structural problem: a thin, inconsistent pipeline of founders coming through the door.
Who it's for
What to expect The session is built around the structural reasons most hubs underperform, rather than surface-level marketing fixes. Expect a practical walkthrough of how to source, qualify, and retain founders across a program cycle - from first-touch outreach through application, onboarding, and cohort retention.
Agenda highlights
Format and context This is a community session hosted by Bangalore Startup Founder 101, a Meetup group that runs recurring programming for founders and startup operators in Bengaluru. The group's sessions are typically discussion-led rather than lecture-style, which makes this a useful room for hub operators to compare notes with peers facing the same pipeline constraints.
Note on scheduling The session was rescheduled to September 28, same time. Confirm the current date on the registration page before travelling.
Why it matters For anyone running an innovation hub in India, pipeline is the metric that determines whether the program survives past its first cohort. This session treats it as an operational problem with concrete fixes, not a branding exercise.
