# Student And Young Founders

I noted that most Gen Z‑led startups operate as “group projects”: one person does the substantive work, another handles VC presentations, and the rest update their LinkedIn bios every 3 months.

I view Indian startups as the new sarkaari naukri, turning chaotic uncertainty into a systematic career‑planning pathway.

startup_career_path.steps = "Crack a top‑tier school; Graduate/Dropout with a deck; Raise from your batchmate's VC firm; Start drawing a founder's salary"

Regional Round prize amount: ₹4,00,000.

Global Championship prize amount: ₹80,00,000 plus a paid trip for all finalists (location TBD).

I chose to promote GSEA participation for its mentorship and global networking benefits rather than focus solely on prize money, aiming to give student founders the support that was missing when I was in college.

Total finalists: 9.

gradCapital received 300+ applications.

4 of the 9 finalists were funded by gradCapital.

EO Noida cash prize: ₹7 L.

Paid trip abroad for the Global Finals.

I urge student founders to apply to the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards because the cash prize, the paid trip to the Global Finals, and my mentorship together create a rare, high‑impact opportunity that leverages the protected bubble of college.

We source about 400 companies each month and invest in roughly 1, an investment rate of 0.25 %.

A 22‑year‑old built an aircraft in 150 days with 100 % of the airframe made in India.

Passing on such high‑potential student founders feels bittersweet; I’m in VC for the love of the work, not for MOIC.

Samay Sanghvi is 20 years old.

He started Alteon with 4 lakhs from Emergent Ventures and the Atlas Fellowship.

Alteon’s drones replicate dynamic soaring, the same flight pattern albatrosses use to cover 800 to 1,000 kilometers a day without flapping.

Samay estimates you can monitor all of New York's coastline every 10 minutes for around 50,000 dollars a month.

I announced an equity‑free funding opportunity for student founders through the EO_Noida Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA).

- Award amount: up to ₹80 L (₹80 Lakhs) in equity‑free capital.

I limited the competition to student founders via GSEA to ensure participants are at the same early stage, maximizing mentorship relevance.

- Application call‑to‑action: comment with startup name, one‑line description, and email.
- Tag other student builders to broaden reach.
- Direct application link: https://lnkd.in/dfS-2kwy
- Mentorship is provided directly by me.
- Founders keep 100 % ownership; no obligations beyond mentorship.
