Path two
You want to build your own thing, and want someone to back it
You build it here, not after here
Your venture gets built during the programme, with operators stress-testing it weekly.
VERTEX Studio writes the first cheque
The strongest ventures from each cohort get backed by the institution itself.
You are not pitching cold
Warm investor intros through the people already invested in your outcome.
And if it doesn’t work, path one is still open
The skills that make a founder are exactly what makes you unhireable-at-a-discount.
Nobody has to start a company.
Questions about the Studio
Do I need a startup idea already?
No, and you never have to have one. A large share of every cohort will finish without starting a company, and they are not second-class here. They leave with something arguably more bankable: a record of real work that makes them one of the most hireable people in the room. If you do have an idea, you will move faster and the Studio may back it. If you do not, you are still in exactly the right place.
What is VERTEX Studio?
VERTEX Studio backs the strongest ventures from every cohort with first-cheque capital. Builders who start something during the programme can be funded before they graduate, without pitching outside investors cold, and get investor intros from day one. It also means the institution only does well when its builders do.
In ten years, the people running India’s best companies will not come from where you expect. They will come from VERTEX.
Some of them will have founded those companies. Most will be the ones those companies could not function without. The founding cohort will be small, and the list gets first access. Put your name down before the rest of the country finds out.
