Favcy Venture Builders

Know which Favcy you are approaching

Favcy does two different things, and they call for different approaches. Its venture-building model co-builds companies with founders and takes equity, with terms set during onboarding rather than through a standard application. Its 1to10 Accelerator is a time-bound programme you apply to. Decide which one fits before you reach out.

Applying to the 1to10 Accelerator

Applications are made online through the 1to10 programme site. You fill in a form with your business details, and you can add a pitch deck or a short one-to-two-minute video. Have a pitch deck ready, since it is expected. At the time this page was researched the intake was closed, so confirm the current status on the programme page before you spend time on an application.

What the programme looks for

1to10 is built for revenue-stage startups, not idea-stage teams. Expect to show real traction, whether that is revenue or active, engaged users. Favcy positions the programme around helping companies that already work to scale further, so lead with evidence that your product is in the market and being used.

How selection works

Selection runs through several stages. After an initial screen of your application, there are interviews and analyst conversations, an evaluation by sector experts, due diligence, and a final pitch to an investment committee. Prepare for each stage to go deeper than the last, and be ready for diligence on the numbers behind your traction.

Favcy Venture Builders (Favcy VB) is a venture-building platform based in New Delhi that co-builds startups rather than running an open incubator. It describes itself as a venture builder, and distinguishes what it does from a traditional incubator or accelerator: it co-builds ventures and takes equity in the companies it helps create. Our directory lists this organisation as Favcy Capital; on the live Favcy website that name appears only as a footer label under an Advisory column that is marked as coming soon, so the operating entity today is Favcy Venture Builders. It also runs under the shorter name Favcy VB.

What it does

Favcy's core model is venture building: it co-builds companies alongside founders and, as its founders page states, typically takes equity in the startups it co-builds, with the exact terms discussed during onboarding. This is a different relationship from a programme you apply to and graduate from. Favcy frames itself as working more deeply with ventures than an incubator or accelerator would.

Separately from the co-building model, Favcy runs a named accelerator, the 1to10 Accelerator, aimed at founders who already have revenue and are trying to scale.

Programmes

The one named programme on Favcy's pages is the 1to10 Accelerator. It is a hybrid, three-month programme for revenue-stage, high-growth startups, built to help founders go from early scale toward larger scale. It combines mentorship, investment-readiness support, fundraising help and a chance to pitch on a televised fundraising show. At the time this page was researched, applications to 1to10 were shown as closed, so check the programme page for the next intake before applying.

Who it is for

The 1to10 Accelerator is aimed at early-stage founders who already have a working product and real traction, in the form of revenue or active users. A pitch deck is expected as part of applying. The programme is run from New Delhi and its televised showcase is on an Indian streaming platform, so it is oriented to India-based founders.

Scale and track record

Favcy's 1to10 page states that over the past three years it has co-built dozens of startups and recorded two exits, and that it works with a wide network of retail angel and institutional investors. These are Favcy's own figures. They sit uneasily with other claims on the same pages, which describe a decade of operation, so the organisation's own timeline is not consistent, and the numbers are best read as self-reported rather than verified. Our directory records the organisation as founded in 2024, which the site's own decade-of-impact and three-years-of-building language appears to contradict, so no founding year is asserted here.

Where it is

Favcy's headquarters is in Greater Kailash Part I, New Delhi, with a further office in South Extension Part I, New Delhi, and an office in Makarba, on S.G. Highway in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

How to apply

Favcy's co-building model is not an open application in the usual sense; terms are worked out with founders during onboarding, and equity is part of the arrangement. For the 1to10 Accelerator, founders apply online through the programme's own site by filling in a form with business details and, optionally, a pitch deck or a short video. Selection runs through several stages, from an initial application screen and interviews through sector-expert evaluation and due diligence to a final pitch to an investment committee.
