Program Introduction

TSUV works with startups over a 3-month period to help them refine their product and pitch to culminate in a demo day to potential investors.

StepUp Ventures will co-invest with other seed investors to help the startup along the journey to scale.

During this 3-month program we help entrepreneurs build and validate their startup to scale and to garner more support from like-minded partners in the Indian Startup ecosystem on the journey to becoming a world-class enterprise.

Our two-tier team of coaches and mentors helps the startups navigate our program in their quest to grow and improve their business.
