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.
