Technopreneur Incubation

This is FIRST's own way in for founders with no connection to the university. There is no announced intake window and no closing date, so you can apply whenever you are ready.

What you get

• A place at FIRST's block on the SASTRA campus, with incubation and office space.
• Use of the 3D printing, IoT and immersive media labs.
• Access to FIRST's mentor panel.
• A route into the three national funding schemes FIRST delivers.

Who can apply

• Aspiring founders. The form asks for your current location and educational background and does not ask for any SASTRA roll number, department or affiliation.
• Your work has to fit one of five domains: 3D printing, IoT, virtual reality, robotics or drones.

How selection works: FIRST does not publish its selection process for this route.

How to apply: Fill the Apply for Incubation form on FIRST's Technopreneur page. It asks for your name, email, phone, domain, current location and educational background, a problem statement, how you came to want to start something, why you want to be an incubatee at FIRST, and a CV upload.
