Congratulations to the Top 25 startups from Startup-O ‘Fasttrack’ Season 8

Estimated 200 startups applied for the program from across 21 countries, but only one-third of the total were selected to participate in the assessment program where seasoned global experts evaluate these promising startups with detailed interactions. At the end of the program, some top-ranked ventures will access capital to become part of our investment portfolio. Many others will gain access to venture building networks, partner resources and help from the community to march onwards with actionable feedback.

We also welcomed participation from some ventures that not only are commercially viable but has social impact dimensions in their business model.

Great to see the diversity of the participants in terms of nationalities, technology verticals, the age range of founders and gender diversity. Very heartwarming to see ‘Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs’ platform approach resonating strongly far and wide.
