How It Works

Six steps to your funded startup

A clear founder path — apply free, get selected, build in Ahmedabad for 30 days, pitch on Demo Day, and keep 100% equity.

Step 115 min

Apply

Tell us your idea, stage, and why now — no pitch deck required to start.

Short application form (~15 minutes)
2-minute founder video (phone is fine)
Share problem, audience, and what you want to build
₹0 application fee · 0% equity asked

Outcome: You enter the selection pool for Cohort 1

Step 2Top 25–30

Get selected

We shortlist founders ready to sprint — idea clarity, commitment, and coachability matter most.

Review by TSIH team + domain mentors
~200 applicants → 25–30 startups selected
Fit for a 30-day residency build, not just a concept
Seat confirmation after shortlist (₹5,999)

Outcome: Your cohort seat is reserved

Step 330 Nov 2026

Arrive in Gujarat

Check in to the residency — workspace, stay, and your builder setup ready from day one.

Arrive Ahmedabad · evening of 30 Nov 2026
Shared accommodation + co-working access
Meet your developer, mentors & cohort peers
Kickoff brief: goals, tools, and sprint rhythm

Outcome: Residency begins — you are build-ready

Step 41–30 Dec

30-day sprint

We build with you — product, design, mentoring, and daily execution until you have a real MVP.

Dedicated full-stack developer (8h/day)
UI/UX + tech, business & fundraising mentors
Cloud credits, legal/incorporation support
Weekly milestones: prototype → MVP → pre-sales prep

Outcome: A working product, not a slide deck

Step 5End of Dec

Demo Day

Pitch what you built — to angels, operators, and partners who care about real traction.

Live demo of your MVP
Pitch to 30+ angels & invited VCs
Feedback, intros, and next-step conversations
Celebrate shipping with your cohort

Outcome: Visibility, validation & investor exposure

Step 6After you earn

Pay only after revenue

Keep 100% equity forever. Royalty starts only when customers pay you.

5% revenue royalty — only after real revenue
Capped at ₹8L (≈2× program cost)
Royalty drops to 0% after the cap
No revenue = ₹0 owed to TSIH

Outcome: Aligned success — never early dilution

About TSIH

Your idea is enough. We build the rest.

TSIH exists for founders who have vision — but not a team, not funding, and not permission to wait. In 30 days in Gujarat, we turn a notebook idea into a living product — and you keep 100% equity.

We don't invest in your shares. We invest in your first product.

Founder Story

Built by founders, for founders

“Before TSIH, I had a 40-page business plan and zero code. In 30 days, we launched a working MVP with 12 prepaid customers. We kept 100% equity and raised ₹50L from angels who saw our real traction.”
Rohit S.
Cohort 1 founder (EdTech SaaS)
