THE
ENTREPRENEURSHIP ASPECT OF XIME GOT A BOOST WITH INDIA’S FIRST AND ONLY B2B
SAAS ACCELERATOR IN XIME.

The 3 month Accelerator program is designed to find,
nurture and accelerate the next gen innovative ideas & entrepreneurs in B2B
SaaS.

Startups are mushrooming exponentially in India but
the need of the hour is to create ecosystems that help this revolution
translate into meaningful growth for the startups and the country. With an
intention to create a startup ecosystem for B2B SaaS (Business-to-Business
Software-as-a-Service) ideas, Amplifi and XIME have partnered to set up India’s
first and only Amplifi-XIME B2B SaaS Accelerator at XIME’s Bengaluru campus. The
new entity will offer infrastructure, mentoring, shared resources, access to
corporates, angel investors and VCs plus credits from partners & service
providers for the entrepreneurs selected through this program.

The Accelerator will be a 3 month long program for startup
founders chosen through a rigorous selection process. The selected startup
founders will work out of the XIME campus for this duration with the goal to
prepare each startup with a focused business pitch and a working or refined
prototype.
