Cohort 01  —  August 2026  —  Offline + Online

Too
Early?
Perfect.

We back founders before they're fundable.
From Dorm Rooms to Boardrooms.

We don't care if it's just a Figma file, a Notion doc, or chaos on a whiteboard. If the vision hits, we're listening.

01 — Who we are

The founder arc starts here.

Dorm2VC is an early-stage startup incubator for people with ideas that haven't found their shape yet. We don't write cheques. We build founders.

We help you think clearer, move faster, and get to the point where the real investors show up. Most incubators want traction. We want obsession.

We operate on an equity model. We invest our time, tools, network, and space in you. In return, we take a small stake. We win when you win.

02 — Cohort 1

What you
get.

Limited seats
Space

Makerspace

A dedicated physical space in Warangal to build, think, and collaborate. Show up, plug in, and work alongside founders who are just as serious as you.

Tools

AI + Cloud Credits

We give you what you need to build. AI credits, cloud infrastructure, dev tools, so you focus on the product and not the costs.

Network

VC Connections

We try to connect you to the right investors, mentors, and operators. No guarantees, but we open every door we can.

Community

Environment

Surround yourself with people as obsessed as you. The environment we create is the most underrated thing we offer.

Kit

Dorm2VC Starter Kit

Your go-to kit for the startup journey. Everything you need to show up, stay in it, and feel like you belong here.

Support

Founder Support

Weekly check-ins, feedback sessions, and a founding team that is reachable. We're in it with you, not watching from the sidelines.

Online cohort

Build together,
from anywhere.

Can't make it to Warangal? No problem. The online cohort is a community of founders building together from their dorms, rooms, and cafes across India. Same 6 months, same tools, same energy. Virtual standups, shared sprints, real accountability. Apply wherever you are.

03 — The commitment

This is
intense.

6

Months long

Not a weekend workshop. Six months of sustained building with real accountability built in.

100%

All in required

We're going all in on you. We need you to go all in on this. Half-effort doesn't build companies.

0

Room for passengers

The makerspace is there. The tools are there. The community is there. The rest is entirely on you.

Shot at Cohort 1

This is the smallest we will ever be. The most access you will ever have to the founding team.

Important

This programme demands full commitment. If you're looking for something to dabble in between classes, this is not it. If you're ready to go all in on your idea for six months, we want to hear from you.
