Incubation at SSIIE-TBI

SSIIE-TBI takes technology startups and innovators into incubation through a panel and committee process. The website describes continuous support until graduation. It does not say how long that is.

What you get

• Mentoring from experienced mentors and entrepreneurs.
• Technical support: equipment, prototyping facilities and design and testing guidance.
• Help accessing grants, seed funding and investors, and preparing pitch decks and proposals.
• Legal and intellectual property support for patents, trademarks, agreements and licensing.
• Co-working space, networking events, marketing support and regular progress reviews.

Who can apply

• Startups and innovators. The incubator states no gender, enrolment or university-affiliation condition.
• It emphasises innovators, researchers and women entrepreneurs, and lists more than 50 women entrepreneurs among its incubatees.

How selection works: Your application is screened first. A panel then reviews it, shortlisted applicants present to the Incubation Committee, and approved startups get in-principle approval before they sign a non-disclosure agreement and an incubation agreement. The panel weighs innovation, technological feasibility, market potential, scalability, team capability and fit with the incubator's objectives.

How to apply: Complete the incubation application with its enclosures. Email it to the CEO's office or send it by courier or post to the CEO, SSIIE-TBI, C.V. Raman Block, School of Engineering and Technology, Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam, Tirupati 517502. The address and email are on the incubator's contact page.
