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.

02

Business Model Validation

Work on customer problems, value proposition, pricing, revenue models and the commercial viability of your solution.

03

Go-to-Market and Growth Support

Develop a clearer approach to customer acquisition, distribution, partnerships and early revenue.

04

Industry and Ecosystem Access

Connect with relevant experts, potential partners, customers and members of the startup ecosystem, subject to availability.

05

Founder Development

Strengthen your entrepreneurial decision-making, execution discipline and ability to build and lead a team.

06

Investor Readiness

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

Programme Structure

Duration: 12 weeks | Starting 23 November 2026

Stage 1: Discover and validate

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

The detailed session calendar and milestone expectations will be shared with selected startups.
