Online Application
The Intake Matrix below. Seven screens, direct questions, hard character limits. Submitting early is allowed and rewarded: we review as applications arrive.
The Interview Matrix
A 10 minute video interview with 2 to 3 Split Partners. Most interviews happen across August and September. Every co-founder must be present. Read the Interview Guide before you show up.
Same-Day Decisions
You hear back the same day you interview. No weeks of silence, no strung-along maybes.
Immediate Capital Deployment
₹1.5 crore moves immediately upon acceptance. Then you pack for Kolkata.
If you get in.
The In-Person Crucible
A 3 day kickoff, then 4 weeks under one roof in Kolkata. Strictly in person. Relocation for the month is a condition of the cheque.
Unfiltered Operator Keynotes
Operators who built real companies, speaking off the record. No press, no recordings, no polish.
Dedicated Partner Tracks
Raw 1 on 1 operational reviews with the partners. Brainstorming and office hours that end in decisions, not notes.
The Micro-Cohort Model
Cells of 6 to 10 companies. Small enough that nobody hides, large enough that the network compounds.
Unfair Structural Leverage
Labs through IITs, IIMs, IISER, AIIMS, and the RISE Foundation. Government and non-dilutive grant machinery, operated for you.
The Funding Catalyst
Demo Day in front of hand-selected institutional investors, family offices, and VCs. We run the fundraising chess match beside you, for a premium valuation.
