Startup Aid
Startup Aid is a 3-sprint program to help IIIT-H students take their startup idea from paper to the market by connecting the students with experts who provide valuable insights and help them structure their concepts. After successful completion of the 3 sprints, students can pitch their idea in front of CIE and receive funding. The first iteration of the program saw 5 ideas getting incubated.
The only prerequisite is to have an interest in startups and the enthusiasm to build one! Startup Aid 3.0 will have an exclusive ideation phase initially, to cater to the motivated participants who don't have a concrete idea yet. Already have an interesting idea? Start directly from the 2nd phase or if it needs more polishing, start off with phase 1.
