To be eligible for the program, startups must meet several criteria. First, they must be a registered legal entity (e.g., company, partnership, or LLP) with a valid business license. A dedicated team with relevant skills and experience in the chosen theme is essential. Additionally, startups should have a well-defined product or service that aligns with the program's themes—gaming, AI, or accessibility technology. It’s important to demonstrate a clear understanding of the target market and to present a viable business model. Applicants are required to submit a comprehensive pitch deck that outlines their business idea, team, market, technology, and financial projections. Furthermore, startups should show market presence and impact by meeting minimum revenue or user thresholds, providing positive customer testimonials or case studies, establishing partnerships or collaborations with industry players, and ideally having received awards or recognition for their work.
The accelerator program is largely online with a few mentorship sessions that may be held in-person. However, that will be decided depending on a number of factors including participation interest, geographical spread of startups, availability of venue and time constraints. The grand Demo Day will be an in-person event in Delhi, scheduled for mid-February 2025. Selected startups will receive detailed information well in advance.
Your application should capture the necessary information about your startup. Make sure that your application and pitch deck address all the selection criteria.
Here are the points we recommend including in your deck:
1. The problem you are solving
2. Market Analysis
3. Overview of your Solution / Technology
4. Competitive Advantage / Differentiation
5. Validation (number of users, downloads, awards, or recognitions)
6. Business model,
7. Key Milestones / Timeline for go-to-market: Specify the funding needed for each milestone.
8. Summary, including Value Proposition

There is no equity component for the accelerator program. Games24x7 does not commit any investment and is not affiliated with any investment arrangements made. However, depending on the interest levels in your solution, you can discuss this with Games24x7 if such a situation arises.
No, there are no guarantees. It's entirely the discretion of the core program management team as to whether or not we enter into any commercial arrangement with a participating company after the accelerator program.
The information collected as a part of the application form is sourced to evaluate the startups and the offerings. This information will be used by Games24x7 and Startup Réseau as a part of the selection process for the same. We take pride in our confidentiality policy.
