Our Story
We are born out of a close understanding of the startups' needs experienced during the Joint Mentoring Program between NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore and FITT, IIT Delhi. The Joint Mentoring Program, started in 2018, through an MoU signed between the two incubators for mentoring startups.
After helping 100+ startups over two years, this effort was formalised as i4 Mentors Foundation, a not-for-profit model, to continue the spirit of unbiased advice and support. We identified mentoring, funding readiness improvement & funding support as focus areas. In addition to mentoring, we aim to bring access to enabling business ecosystem including investing community. We also enable funding through our network of Angel Investors and Family Offices.
We believe its the founders aspirations and values that are critical to success of a venture and we aim to support those aspirations. Our larger goal is to enable founders to contribute to economic and hence social well being of the nation.
