ProtoX Program

ProtoX is a 10-week startup support program designed to help early-stage startups and innovators turn their ideas into fully functional prototypes. The program offers structured guidance by assigning each team a dedicated technical mentor and a business mentor. Startups receive weekly one-on-one sessions with their technical mentor to resolve doubts and get hands-on support in prototype development. Additionally, they meet with their business mentor every two weeks to review progress, refine their business model, and plan their go-to-market strategy. Over the course of the program, each startup gets 10 technical mentoring sessions and 5 business mentoring sessions. To further boost their journey, the top 5 selected startup teams are awarded a grant at the beginning of the program to support their prototype development. ProtoX ensures that by the end of the program, every participating startup has a working prototype, a validated business plan, and the confidence to take the next big step in their entrepreneurial journey.
