Startup Aid
Startup Aid is a 45-day sprint designed to cultivate entrepreneurial skills within the IIIT-H community. The program takes participants through key aspects of launching a startup—ideation, market analysis, prototyping, marketing, and pitching—through expert-led masterclasses, hands-on challenges, and a mini-hackathon. Participants don’t need a startup idea to join! The program starts with an ideation phase to help participants identify real-world problems and develop solutions. Those with existing ideas can jump straight into refining their business model and prototype. The journey concludes with a final pitch in front of investors, where top teams compete for cash prizes, mentorship, and the winner secures an opporunity to get incubated at CIE.
