Pre-Prototype Stage

We enter when most VCs won't — at the earliest idea stage, before you've built anything.

Studio + Fund Model

Not just capital. We're embedded co-builders: team, tech, design, legal, and go-to-market.

Deep-Tech Focus

We back science-first companies where technology is the differentiator — not just an enabler.

Academic Integration

Born in PES University. We uniquely bridge academic research with commercial venture creation.

Founder-Friendly Terms

No drag-along, no tag-along, no LP provisions. We protect founders — not institutional interests.

Global Mentor Network

Mentors from Fortune 500s, tier-1 VCs, and deep-tech startups across 3 continents.

Two Engines, One Mission

We Build With You

From idea to company in our 10-week deep-tech bootcamp. We provide team, tools, mentors, APIs, cloud credits, and domain expertise — so you focus purely on the product.
