Recognising the important role startups play in the progress of their birth state, the Karnataka State Government recently set out on a mission to search 100 most innovative startups bubbling in the state and provide them with monetary help to make it big.
On Wednesday, the state government finally announced the list of the selected 100 startups for its ELEVATE 100 programme. Coming together at Hotel Lalit Ashok, Bengaluru, the panel of selectors chose the final 100 from a pool of 270 startups by following a rigorous four-layered selection process. However, overall the contest saw more than 1700 startups sending in their entries from all across Karnataka, although a majority of the participation came from the city of Bengaluru.
What's encouraging to note is the fact that the contest also saw an enthusiastic participation from women entrepreneurs and rural areas applicants, with 350 and 400 entries respectively.
Karnataka government's ELEVATE 100 roadshow aims to search through the length and breadth of Karnataka to bring to fore 100 most innovative startups in the state and help them in turning their ideas into successful business ventures.
Of the selected 100 startups this time, 27 belong to electronic semiconductor design domain, 19 are from life sciences, 26 are from IT/ITES, there are 11 each from biotech, agri tech and four each from animation and gaming, and clean tech. The final selected lot also has 19 startups which have women entrepreneurs and 11 startups come from rural areas.
In a press release, the IT department revealed that the ELEVATE 100 programme selected startups will be treated with easy access to government’s start-up fund besides having a direct access to almost all government VC funds, private VC funds, pilots, world class accelerators and mentors.
In order to help it with the programme, the Karnataka state government has also joined hands with eight private firms. For instance, Google has been brought on board to provide $3000 worth cloud credits for Startup Cell registered startups and $20,000 worth of credits for Elevate100 winners. Further, YES Bank & Kotak Bank have agreed to provide banking and other services, while PwC will provide be mentoring and consulting services, among other firms.
