3. Mentoring, funding, incubation and resources
for high-potential startups
Who should apply?
The Hatch Incubator Program is ideal for concept and/or prototype stage startups that need
assistance in creating a good business plan and business case as well as early-stage
startups.
Model of engagement
As part of the Startup Incubator Program, a member of The Hatch team and/or a member of the
mentor panel will engage with the startup during the period of engagement. The mentor may
join the advisory board / board of the shortlisted startup in his/her individual capacity.
The goal is to help high-potential startups with the planning and operational insights of more
experienced entrepreneurs and mentors.
While The Hatch is a not-for-profit organization, it has to be a self-sustaining entity. Hence The
Hatch takes 7% equity in the startup. The Hatch shares this equity with the anchor mentor.
During the program, The Hatch may invest up to Rs.10 lacs in the startup, and also showcase it
to angel investors and our investment partners, for funding up to Rs.1 crore. The startup is
however free to access capital through other sources or other angel groups too, if they are able
to get a higher valuation.
Process
• The selection committee of The Hatch will review proposals and shortlist startups for the
Incubator Program
• The Hatch will then nominate a mentor to work with the startup
• Once activated, the startup will be featured as a portfolio company of The Hatch
• The Hatch secretariat will do a monthly follow-up with the mentor and the startup and provide
assistance wherever appropriate, possible and necessary
