About this grant
WEnnovate 2.0 is an intensive acceleration track developed by the Karnavati Innovation and Incubation Foundation (KIIF) at Karnavati University. This program addresses the specialized support gap for women-led startups driving innovation in DeepTech and Immersive Experience. It focuses on empowering tech-first founders to scale their solutions through a high-intensity, execution-focused approach.
The three-week journey provides participants with substantial resources. This includes intensive mentorship from seasoned operators, alongside strategic support in areas like Go-To-Market strategies, Intellectual Property, legal guidance, and funding preparation. The program culminates in a Demo Day, offering direct access to a curated network of investors.
Post-program, successful startups gain an opportunity for a potential two-year incubation stint at KIIF. This extended support is designed to foster long-term growth by providing continued access to venture capital and government funds, coupled with ongoing legal, compliance, and IP assistance, and strategic pitch development coaching.
