Selection process

The selection process for the Scaleup Seed Fund involves several stages to ensure thorough evaluation of applicants.

Initially, applicants are required to submit an online business profile and a detailed seed proposal to the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) for an initial review. This stage assesses the fundamental eligibility and potential of the startup.

Following this, shortlisted startups are invited for a virtual call to discuss their proposals further and provide additional details. The final stage involves a rigorous evaluation where these shortlisted startups present a final pitch to the Scale-up Seed Expert Committee. This committee conducts a comprehensive assessment before making recommendations for funding.
