CoCreate

How applications work

CoCreate takes ideas through an open idea-submission intake rather than dated cohorts, so there is no deadline to work towards. You submit an idea through the intake on the studio's site, and the studio takes it from there with the teams it chooses to build alongside.

What to prepare

The studio does not publish formal eligibility criteria or a scorecard, so lead with the idea itself: the problem, who it is for, and why it suits a build-and-co-create partner rather than only mentoring. CoCreate frames its work around deep-tech ventures built with entrepreneurs, GCCs and corporates, so it helps to be clear about the technical substance of what you want to build.

Who it is for

The intake is pitched at founders with an idea, as well as GCCs and corporates looking to build innovations. If you are looking for a fixed-length accelerator with a published curriculum and cohort dates, that is not what this intake describes.

CoCreate is a venture studio that works with entrepreneurs, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and corporates to turn ideas into built, fundable deep-tech ventures. It describes its role as co-creating and co-building alongside a founder or team, rather than only mentoring from the sidelines. The studio's own site presents it as a venture studio; its homepage metadata instead describes it as an idea-stage fund focused on campus entrepreneurs, so its self-description is not consistent across its own pages, and this page follows the venture-studio language it uses in its main text.

What they support

CoCreate's audience, as stated on its site, is threefold: entrepreneurs who have an idea, GCCs, and corporates or industries looking to build innovations. The entrepreneur route is framed simply as an invitation to bring an idea. The site does not publish formal eligibility criteria such as stage cut-offs, sector gates or a geography restriction, so who qualifies is not spelled out beyond that audience. It is not stated whether the intake is limited to, or explicitly open to, founders based in India.

How it works

Rather than running dated cohorts, CoCreate keeps an open idea-submission intake. A founder submits an idea through the studio's online intake, and the studio works with selected teams to build and co-create the venture. Because the studio co-builds rather than runs a fixed-length programme, the site does not state a cohort calendar or a programme length.

Track record

CoCreate publishes a small set of its own figures on its site: more than 75 innovations and projects completed with technology firms, funds and governments; more than 15 businesses it says it has helped through a digital transition; and more than 50 patents filed over the last three years. These are the studio's own self-reported counts rather than independently verified totals.

How to apply

The route in is the studio's open idea-submission intake, reached from the apply option on its site. General queries can go to the studio's analyst inbox, analyst@cocreate.ventures. Because the intake is open rather than tied to a cohort window, there is no published deadline to apply by.
