The Startup Launch Pad program is designed to help NIT Warangal students launch their startups by providing seed funding, working space, mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs, and services like legal and accounting support. In exchange for these resources and assistance, the program takes a minor equity stake in the startups. The goal is to help launch at least 5 startups in the next 2 years. Interested student teams can apply online between specific dates by submitting their startup ideas and bios. Selected teams will present at an event and be interviewed, and the top 3 teams will be enrolled in the 3-6 month Startup Launch Pad program starting in October 2011.
