About BE Hub Udaan
Building a startup requires more than an idea. Founders need customer validation, business discipline, access to industry and the ability to execute.
BE Hub Udaan is designed to help early-stage founders move from potential to progress through focused mentorship, structured milestones and connections with the startup ecosystem.
We are looking for founders who are serious about solving meaningful problems and building sustainable businesses.
With a deliberately small cohort of just 5–6 startups, our aim is to create a focused environment where founders can receive relevant guidance and make measurable progress.
Who Should Apply?
We welcome founders building:
01
Deep-tech startups
Semiconductor technologies, electronics, advanced materials, scientific innovation, engineering and other technology-intensive ventures.
02
Technology-led businesses
SaaS, AI, enterprise technology, automation, fintech infrastructure and other scalable technology-enabled solutions.
We are interested in founders with a clear problem to solve, a credible solution and the commitment to turn it into a business.
What You Get?
01
Structured Mentorship
Guidance from entrepreneurs, industry professionals and domain experts relevant to your business challenges.

Improve your pitch, financial understanding, business narrative and preparation for future fundraising conversations.

Potential Seed Investment
A select number of startups may be considered for seed investment by BE Hub or relevant investment partners. Investment decisions are separate from cohort selection and subject to due diligence, approvals and agreed terms.
Programme Structure
Duration: 12 weeks | Starting 23 November 2026
The programme will focus on four stages:
Stage 1: Discover and validate
Clarify the customer problem, target market, value proposition and assumptions that need to be tested.
Stage 2: Build and strengthen
Improve the product, prototype or MVP, business model and customer feedback process.
Stage 3: Execute and grow
Work on go-to-market strategy, early customers, partnerships, revenue and operating priorities.
Stage 4: Prepare for the next stage
Review progress, define the next milestones and prepare for potential partnerships, fundraising or investment evaluation.
The detailed session calendar and milestone expectations will be shared with selected startups.
