Aurone

Choose the programme that fits your stage

• An early-stage conscious startup working from an idea: the 3 Months Acceleration.
• A conscious startup at an advanced stage that needs help in specific areas: the 4 Weeks Acceleration.
• An individual looking for personal growth rather than startup funding: the Inner Growth Modules.

Check the open points before you apply

• The site does not say whether applications are open now or when the next intake starts.
• The homepage and the 3 Months page differ on programme length and equity. Ask which terms apply to you.
• The site does not state a fee for either acceleration programme. Ask before you commit.

How applications work

• Both acceleration programmes use the same application form on the website.
• The Inner Growth Modules page has no sign-up option. Its only link leads to the startup application form, so it is not a route into the acceleration programmes.

AURONE describes itself as an incubator and accelerator for early-stage conscious startups. Its legal name is Aurone Ventures Pvt Ltd, and it says its focus is building and supporting sustainable ventures for a sustainable planet.

How the programmes work

AURONE lists two acceleration programmes. The 3 Months Acceleration covers the path from idea to company formation, including preparing a pitch deck for angel investment. It includes 24-hour access to a mentor or buddy, virtual engagement for remote founders and regular interactions with investors and mentors. The 4 Weeks Acceleration is a fast-paced programme with pitch development, a small cohort and investor connections, for conscious startups that need help in specific areas.

The homepage describes a 12-week online or offline acceleration, with equity given in exchange for support, and mentions access to patient funding. The 3 Months page describes a three-month programme and states no equity or fee terms. The pages do not say whether these are the same programme, so ask before you apply.

The site also lists Inner Growth Modules. These are structured personal-development courses for individuals, in one-week, four-week and eight-week formats. They are not startup funding or acceleration programmes. The menu and page title call them AuroNext.

Who can apply

The 3 Months programme describes its audience as early-stage conscious startups. The 4 Weeks programme describes advanced-stage ones. Both descriptions are reported here, because the site does not explain the difference. Remote founders can join the 3 Months programme virtually. The site states no other eligibility conditions.

Space

AURONE also rents out space. Its booking page lists a private office, an events space, meeting rooms and open space, each bookable by the hour.

Applying

Both acceleration programmes link to one application form on the website. The application page is titled as the first cohort of conscious startups and founders. The site does not say when the next intake opens or whether applications are open now.
