About Pre-Incubation Programme
Pre-incubation is the earliest stage REVA NEST runs, described as a way to turn an idea into a minimum viable product. It is open to founders, students and working professionals, and it mixes structured live workshops with experts, peer-to-peer learning, introductions and one-to-one support. The incubator has run it with a corporate partner and alongside a product-development workshop, and it has no form of its own — you come in through the same incubation application.
What you get
- Structured live workshops with experts.
- Peer-to-peer learning and introductions.
- Individual mentoring support.
- Innovation and entrepreneurship activities on campus.
Who can apply
- Founders, students or working professionals with an idea they want to take to a first working product.
- The same four admission categories as incubation apply.
How to apply: use the incubation application on the REVA NEST site and say you are at idea stage, or email info@revanest.com to ask when the next intake runs.
