About Samadhan
Samadhan is PW School of Startups' one-on-one mentoring programme. You don't need a startup idea to join: it helps you find and validate a real problem in a domain you care about, then plan a minimum viable product.
What you get: personalised mentoring sessions from a pool the programme describes as 100+ mentors across domains. You leave with a validated problem statement, an insights summary, an MVP blueprint, a pitch-ready narrative and a completion certificate.
Who can apply: students, aspiring founders, professionals and innovators. You can join solo or with a team, and no prior startup or technical experience is required.
Selection: some cohorts may include a short application or screening step.
How to apply: through the Apply Now link on the programme page, or join the Samadhan community to be notified of the next session.
