Incubation at MAGIC

MAGIC's incubation is a staged path rather than a fixed-length cohort. Its own description of the journey runs from application and screening, through idea validation, product development, and mentoring and review, to funding and market access and then growth and scale. Applications are open all year — there is no intake window on the site.

What you get

• Mentoring from industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs, plus regular reviews and the Saturday Mentoring Clinic
• Technical and product development support, including prototype validation
• Help reaching government seed funding schemes, CSR grants, angel investors, venture funds and family offices
• Legal, compliance and IPR support, covering incorporation, regulatory compliance and patent filing
• Branding, market access, customer connect, and a place at startup exhibitions and demo events
• Co-working space and an incubation office, meeting and mentoring rooms, and training and workshop facilities
• Help recruiting and building a team

Who can apply

• Early-stage startups
• Student innovators and faculty-led startups
• MSMEs with an innovative idea
• Entrepreneurs and innovators across sectors
• You need an innovative idea, prototype or early-stage startup, potential to scale and to create impact, and a willingness to engage actively in mentoring
• The startup does not need to be registered yet, and there is no state restriction

How selection works: You submit the online form, MAGIC does a preliminary screening and evaluation, then an interaction and mentoring review, and then selects teams for incubation. Applications are judged on innovation, feasibility and impact potential. Preference goes to ideas that can scale and create jobs or social and economic impact.

How to apply: Fill the incubation application form on MAGIC's site and attach a pitch deck as PPT, PPTX or PDF, up to 20 MB. Questions go to contact@magicincubation.com.
