GCV Grants Program (via IIIT Sri City Innovation Centre)

Offered by IIIT Sri City Innovation Centre (Gyan Circle Ventures)

Overview

The GCV Grants Program is run by Gyan Circle Ventures (GCV), the Technology Business Incubator at IIIT Sri City, under its TIDE 2.0 mandate. It targets nascent startups that already have a working proof of concept but need resources to build a minimum viable product and reach market launch, and combines grant funding with mentorship and guidance through the program.

Eligibility

  • Startup must already have a definite, working proof of concept in place before applying

Funding Purpose

Grant funds, up to a maximum of Rs. 7 lakh per startup, are meant to help a startup move from a validated proof of concept to a minimum viable product and market launch, alongside mentorship and guidance provided by GCV through the program duration.

Application Process

Applicants submit an application through the online form linked on the GCV website (iiits.ac.in/innovation-tbi/gyan-circle-venture-tide2/), with guidelines available for download on the same page. Contact: Krishnamoorthy P, Manager-TBI, 7337327448 or gcv.manager@iiits.in.

  • ZeedFund is an independent tracker, not the offering organisation or a funding body.
  • Verify current eligibility, funding amount, and deadline on the official page before applying. Details can change after we last verified them.
