By PedalStart, Bangalore, India
PedalStart's free accelerator program for early-stage founders in
India. One in-person week that puts your product in front of real
customers, your pitch in front of real investors, and ends on a
Demo Day.
Free for selected founders. Always.
From Monday to Demo Day, we are a team that actually builds with you.
MONDAY
The cohort meets, maps out the week, and dives into the first round of customer calls.
The community helps each founder reframe the story, then runs deck reviews and more customer calls.
Founders show progress to mentors, then face their first Investor Committee panel, online with global investors.
THURSDAY
More time with mentors, a second in-person Investor Committee panel, and another round of customer calls.
A session on how real deals work, the week's feedback pulled into a final in-person panel.
The finale. Founders pitch their sharpened decks to a full room of investors, angels, and HNIs.
The Sprint is for early-stage founders in India who are ready to put a hard week in. From an idea you are still shaping to your first bit of traction, pre-revenue or already earning, if you are building in earnest, you fit.
01 · CUSTOMER CALLS
Nine Startups have been funded straight out of the Sprint.
Some founders leave with an offer on the table.
Not every founder walks out with a cheque. But every founder walks out further ahead than they came in.
A pitch that is taken apart and rebuilt its sharper version
A clear read on how investors see you, before it counts
A cohort that stays in your corner after the week ends
Blunt product feedback from the customers who'd actually buy
Warm introductions from inside the PedalStart network
This is just the beginning.
