Program Flow

01. Selection & Onboarding

After you submit your application, we shortlist the top applications for an intensive Pitch Feedback Session. After that, selected startups meet our advisors, investors and mentors who help us choose the top teams to join our cohort. Further details will be provided over email.

02. Incubation

In the incubation phase, the top teams will go through 3.5 months of the incubation process consisting of weekly thematic sessions for business building and one-on-one sessions with mentors. NSU Startups Next will work closely with the top teams to build the products and grow the startups.

03. Graduation

After the successful completion of the incubation phase, the teams will present their pitches in front of a panel of investors and experts. The best startups will be selected based on the pitch and their progress throughout the program. The winners will be the proud alumni of the NSU Startups Next’s incubation program and will get access to opportunities for early-stage financing.
