A year long fellowship program for India’s top growing startups with the aim to build a close-knit community who can help each other multiply their impact.
The program will provide recognition & support to these startups in the areas of fund raising exploring new markets & customers, strategic investments, overall business expansion in India and other network countries and enable peer to peer learning. The Junction will serve as the medium to identify India’s most innovative 42 growing startups and bring them together.
Zero to One is the easier bit. Going from One to Ten is the hard part. Imagine 42 awesome companies at the same stage facing similar problems coming together and helping each other over the year.
It takes a peer network and a long-term commitment to build high growth companies grow and succeed. We will identify, qualify, connect, and empower founders of growing startups who are building scalable solutions to the world’s most complex problems.
