We work closely with Start-Up India Seed Fund Scheme, enabling deserving Start-ups to raise funds through governmental and external agencies/sources.
The pre-incubation stage focuses mostly on two parameters: Ideation and Research & Development. APJ ERIC can help healthcare experts/ companies/ industries with potentially unique ideas to conduct full-scale research on healthcare subject or product. During this time, the entrepreneur along with the mentor team adopts responsibility for transforming the concept into a proof orconcept. This helps in understanding the technical viability of the proposed proposal. The incubates can move to Incubation Stage once a marketable technology/product idea has been developed.
After identifying a viable idea, the company nurtures product or services, enabling it to become a successful business venture. We assist start-ups in overcoming the challenges and speed their journey from idea to market by offering a supporting atmosphere, physical infrastructure, mentorship, networking, operational support, and validation.
The focus of the accelerator stage will be on rapid growth and resolving all organisational, operational, and strategic challenges that the entrepreneur may face. APJ ERIC takes a methodical approach to achieving and establishing the product or innovation's long-term goals.
