Incubation Process
At SMVDU-TBIC, the incubation journey begins with an open application and screening process to identify innovative, viable startup ideas. Selected founders are invited to pitch before an expert panel, following which successful ventures are formally onboarded through an incubation agreement. Startups gain access to co-working space, labs, and essential infrastructure. Throughout the incubation period, they receive tailored mentorship, business development support, and assistance with legal, IP, and go-to-market strategies. Startups are also guided in securing seed funding, government grants, and investor connections. With periodic reviews to track progress, startups scale towards commercialization and eventually graduate, joining SMVDU-TBIC’s growing alumni network of impactful ventures.
