MSH BootUp

The world economy is under great stress because of the pandemic and various countries are still at different stages of recovery. Governments and business houses are limping back to normalcy but with great caution. The start-up community is also showing signs of resilience, and is using this time to rethink, reshape, and restart.

In keeping with Padup’s mission of nation building, we have teamed up with MeitY Startup Hub to bring forward an innovative way of making Startups and entrepreneurs utilise their time on hand by engaging them through an interactive online mentoring & educational bootcamp, called the MSH BootUp.

We regularly conduct several such bootcamps in the country and they have been very successful in creating investable startups.

Our last online Bootcamp, BootUp Lockathon, ended with a sterling success rate as 40% participants got funded.

MSH Bootup will have two parts - BootUp and RevvUp.

BootUp is a 14 Week Bootcamp For Customer & Market discovery and Raise Seed/ Angel Funding
‍
‍BootUp is an online customer & Market discovery process that spans across 14 weeks. It helps start-ups understand the 'effectuation' for building a successful entrepreneurial venture. The program, through its market and customer-centric process, defines market segments, end users, go-to-market strategy, market size, sales process and a business model that helps establish a venture as investible.

RevvUp is an acceleration Program to Demonstrate Sustainability and Scale for raising funds in a pre-series A

RevvUp is a mentor driven Acceleration Program post angel/seed funding. These funded startups would now be ready to build a “MVP-minimum viable product”. Since they should be geared up to commercially roll out and generate revenues, they need lot of handholding thru mentoring. Startups can bank on the team of Padup inhouse business leaders who will be domain mentors to guide these early stage businesses for next 9 -12 months till their next round of funding.

‍This is where the startups have to "cross the chasm" and go beyond the early adopters, and it needs special skills, strategy, deep mentoring through hand-holding. Padup stands solidly behind startups for the entire duration by helping them with building the required skills, customized plans, the value chain, and the scalability through traction on the ground before connecting them to institutional investors.

Padup's mentoring on business as well as on specific domains would ensure these startups scale at the right time.
