1. Nexus will initially select up to 15-20 startups for our 10 week “pre-incubation phase”. We will work together with you to sharpen your value proposition, define your target market, get market feedback on your product/technology and create and achieve milestones to bring your company to the market. A key part of our methodology is “getting out of the building” to collect real market data and understand the voice of the customer. Hands-on training programs will take place at Nexus by both U.S. and Indian experts
2. Upon completion of the 10 week program, we will select 3-4 startups to incubate at Nexus for a longer, more in-depth incubation period. These companies will have full access to the incubator facilities and network for up to an additional 9 months.
3. During this time we will work with you to take your company to the next level on getting your product to market, growing your customer and revenue base and, if appropriate, work to get you funding for scaling up operations and market growth.
4. Companies selected for long term incubation will sign a MoU with Nexus.

The Nexus selection process is highly competitive with only 10% of the applicants accepted in each call. Each startup will be allowed to bring 2 team members into Nexus for the preincubation training, day-to-day mentoring and events. Final decision for deciding the number of participants per startup will lie with Nexus. Other Info

1. Nope! We are pretty wide open. However, due to time to market issues, startups in the pharmaceutical/drug discovery space will probably not be a good fit with Nexus.
2. We look for companies that have a clear value proposition and quantifiable benefits. USUALLY, this will translate into companies with a business to business (B2B) model, but not always.
3. Lastly, applicants must have an innovative component. If you have the latest e-commerce site, social media platform or are looking to start a franchise of an existing service, that’s great! However, Nexus is probably not the best place for you.
