| Interests |
We have just launched our flagship program called ‘Lab2Mkt’ which seeks to fill the gap between a technology invention/innovation and a full-fledged business plan backed by a successful proof-of-concept or prototype. For the same we are creating a seed fund that will be used to provide capital for successful execution of our Lab2Mkt program. We are also working on identifying entrepreneurs who would like to work with us during this program.
For more information on Lab2Mkt, please visit: http://www.venturecenter.co.in/lab2mkt.php
We would like to get inputs from other members in the network about how to attract entrepreneurs to carry forward our Lab2Mkt program.
We are also interested in forming partnerships with other incubators on strategic basis.
