Startup-O ‘Fasttrack’ program received 200+ applications for its Season 10 investment assessment. An estimated one-third of them were selected to participate in the assessment program, where seasoned global experts evaluated these promising startups with in-depth online interactions.
At the end of the program, some of the highest-ranked startups will get access to strategic capital and become part of our investment portfolio. Many others will gain access to venture-scaling networks, partner resources, and help from the fellow community members to march onwards with actionable feedback provided through diagnostic reports. We are delighted by the diversity of the participants, in terms of nationalities represented, technology verticals, as well as the age and gender of their founders.
It is heart-warming to see our ‘Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs’ platform strongly resonating far and wide globally.
