FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
No, it’s not. While we appreciate the tremendous value that accelerators offer in terms of mentorship and networking opportunities, Origami is designed for a specific purpose—give you access to the capital you need, right when you need it. That way, you can focus your time and energy on building your vision.

If you have formed the company and are actively working towards the idea full-time, you can apply. Having a founding team, MVP, or early sales is excellent but not a must-have.
-
Of course.
-
Origami is sector-agnostic. If you are building a great product or solution for India, whatever your sector, we want to hear from you. Delighted, if you are building from a non-metro city or solving an India-specific problem.

Origami will invest up to $2 million in the form of equity or convertible note.
