UIncept is inviting applications for its 4th Startup Incubation Program
Gurugram based Incubator, Accelerator, UIncept invites applications for the next cohort (July 2019 – June 2020) of their remodelled Incubation Program for aspiring entrepreneurs
Having successfully conducted 3 incubation cohorts, previously, UIncept is now inviting applications for the next batch of the 11-month program which starts in July 2019, at their Gurugram campus. UIncept has incubated and invested in 16 startups, and are now all set to have aspiring entrepreneurs to be a part of their remodeled Incubation Program. With this program, budding entrepreneurs learn from faculties from Innovation and Research Foundations, IITs and IIMs, and get to incubate their startup amidst best-in-class infrastructure. The program now includes an entrepreneurship course to enable incubatees with strong business acumen.
Building your own venture is no simple feat. And the dropping success rate of startup ventures does not paint a very pretty picture. Pick up any startup stat based article online and it’ll tell you 8 out of 10 startups don’t make it past their initial years. It’s most likely because many entrepreneurs fail to invest themselves in learning the fundamentals of running an enterprise. The experts at UIncept factored this in and drafted the program to help budding entrepreneurs get hands-on experience, get the fundamental right, to take on any obstacle they may experience in their startup journey.
What makes the program unparalleled is that it is customized as per the requirements of each business. No two business ideas are identical, neither should their incubation process be. Entrepreneurs will learn from experts from their field, will be facilitated with industry-specific tools and technology to set their business on course.
Founder and Chief Mentor at UIncept, Manish Gupta comes with over 25 years of experience in the education sector. Gathering his thoughts on the Incubation Program, he said, “We have built a conducive space for entrepreneurs that will help them begin their entrepreneurial journey on the right note. It’s critical for entrepreneurs to understand the complete business ecosystem before they jump the bandwagon of the trend of starting up. I firmly believe that the new age entrepreneurs can greatly contribute to the economic and social growth of the country, with the right guidance and support. That’s where UIncept comes in. Be it with the right network of mentors, investors, or partnering with tech support brands, we are pulling every string we can to empower the future change makers with all the critical resources.”
