About Pre-Incubation
Pre-incubation is described by the centre as being for aspiring startups in their starting phase, and it is the one route with an open application you can start yourself.
What you get
- A seat in the centre's co-working space, which it reserves for pre-incubation members
- Access to the centre's mentors and its awareness, pitching and certificate activities
Who can apply
- Stated only as aspiring startups in their starting phase; no other eligibility is published
- Read the published pre-incubatee list before applying: it is dominated by school pupils in grades four to eight, from Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Prayagraj and elsewhere, alongside at least one adult founder team. A founder with a registered company should ask about incubation instead.
How selection works: not published.
How to apply: through the application link on the centre's pre-incubation page. It opens a hosted application that asks you to sign in before you can see the questions.
