I3F incubation (virtual or physical)

I3F's incubation policy is the one place the foundation sets out the terms for a company that joins. There is no published intake calendar or application form, so the policy page is the best guide to what to expect.

What you get

• Office space, equipment and technical and commercial mentoring, as resources allow.
• Seed loan or grant-in-aid money released against milestones approved by the incubator committee.
• Weekly engagement with an incubator team member.

Who can apply

• Companies at early-stage or early-traction stage. The policy speaks of an incubated company and asks for its registration certificate.
• Whether founders from outside IIT (BHU) can apply is not stated.

How selection works: the company presents its scope of work, and the incubator committee approves it.

What it costs: virtual and physical incubation are charged monthly by stage, plus utility and equipment charges. The incubator generally takes an equity share, set by the committee.

How to apply: no application route is published. Write to i3f@iitbhu.ac.in.
