• WHAT WE DO
Two tracks. Equity-linked incubation for MVP-stage teams, or paid access to capital and facilities for startups that only need that.
Mentors who have built and funded companies, an investor network, and partners across banking, IP and the startup ecosystem.
Workspace, AI compute, prototyping and test facilities on the NSUT campus, plus the compliance and legal groundwork founders usually lose months to.
• A Letter from the CEO
“India has more clever people than capital. We've all met the founder with a brilliant prototype and no idea how to get their first cheque, or the student with a working device sitting in a lab, going nowhere. I've been that founder. So have most of the mentors on this page.
AIC NSUT is our attempt to fix one slice of that problem. We are not a fund. We are not a vanity accelerator. We are a working bridge between the people who can build and the institutions, mentors, and investors who can help them go further. The grant from NITI Aayog lets us put real resources behind founders, not just desks.
My hope is that a decade from now, a meaningful number of India's most consequential deep-tech and frontier companies will trace their first 90 days back to this floor. If that is the kind of partner you want, apply. If it isn't, tell us why. We'd rather hear it now.
• APPLY NOW
Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. We back founders for the long run, not just the round.
