- So you see it will be lots and lots of learning, lots and lots of hard working days
- Mentorship
- One of the best parts of the program is that you are working at all times under the radar of some pretty cool “been-there-done-that-still-doing” entrepreneur-turned-mentors. So that lets you avoid a lot of common & un-common mistakes. Plus charting the unexplored areas becomes a habit.
- You will get assistance from an academic and industry based network to help you transform a brilliant idea into a thriving business.
- Working Space
- You get 24 hours access to the lpad co-working space (that saves a lot of money)
- That’s exactly the place where you will convert your entrepreneurial dream into a reality
- You get not just special business training, but also a dedicated mentor and the co-working space to carry out the operations.
- Start-up expenses worth Rs.20.000/-
- That surely is a very small amount, but takes care of a lot of important things (like incorporating). So we will create a clean foundation for your start-up.
- Hi-energy, hi-innovation atmosphere
- A place with 40 passionate entrepreneurs working side-by-side can never have less than loads of energy & innovation. It surely would be fun!
- As you will be work opportunity to work side-by-side of 40 other passionate entrepreneurs
- Be part of a hi-energy, hi-innovation co-working space at Lpad
- Lifetime access to industry experts
- You will also get life-time access to various entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, founders / CXOs of existing companies, subject matter experts, leading practitioners etc. That’s like a life-time guiding star or a number of those!
- Great networking opportunity
- Though it obvious would provide you great networking opportunity (we will also teach you how to do that effectively) with the future CXOs (?find better word), who knows you might just find some excellent co-founders & partners (finding life-partners (business-partners) is also not ruled out!)
- Chance to work in the company of 40 other passionate entrepreneurs
- Equity stake in every other company
- Every other as in only those in your batch. Yup, that true! You get a small part of equity from each start-up that’s there in your batch. Now that brings a lot more excitement to see your friends doing awesomely well!
- That’s true. Every startup, including yours, is asked to contribute a small part of equity (2%-8%) towards a common fund, which will be shared by the stakeholders of that particular batch, viz-a-viz. the institute, the mentors and all the entrepreneurs of your batch.
- We understand that its not always easy to part with something that is a part of you. But we ensure to get you much more value than you contribute.
- Just imagine the quality of a portfolio on which you have almost 40 entrepreneurs working to make it a huge success.
- Access to Discounted Services
After a too-good-to-be-true kind of list of stuff you will get, we have also created a small list of things that you should not be expecting unnecessarily. So here it goes.
- False Promises
- As all of us are in a habit of getting loads of false promises with everything we buy, we assure you none of them (as there are a lot of other people to fulfill that need)
- Bookish Knowledge
- Now that’s something all are mentors hate, ‘coz we didn’t learn anything from those. But hey, there are a lot of wonderful books too. Don’t worry; we will discuss some of the selected ones for sure.
- There surely is a difference between the bookish knowledge & the knowledge from books!
- Rules & Regulations
- Now that is something which should not have been on this list, ‘coz we do have some of them. But yeah, we are always ready to break, mend or find ways around them! We will teach you that too!
- Funding
- Currently we are looking forward for you to fund the institute by paying your tuitions timely. On a serious note, we are not directly involved in any kind of funding, but we will get you introduced to some of the most miser investors!
