Selection process
The selection process involves a thorough evaluation conducted jointly by IIMA Ventures and Jaivel Aerospace. Applications are assessed based on several key criteria: the startup's technology depth, its dual-use relevance to both aerospace and defence applications, and its overall potential for commercial scale and market impact. Startups that are shortlisted from the initial evaluation phase then undergo a detailed due diligence process. Successful completion of this diligence leads to an offer of pre-seed or seed funding. Selected ventures become an integral part of a curated portfolio, typically comprising 8–10 high-impact companies, and receive structured ecosystem support to accelerate their growth.
