PedalStart wraps up eighth iteration of its “Start-up Sprint” acceleration program

The eighth iteration of startup accelerator PedalStart’s flagship fast-paced acceleration program, “Start-up Sprint,” was just wrapped up in Bengaluru.

To date, this free Start-up Sprint organized by PedalStart has helped raise over $1.5 million in total investments across four promising cohort startups and has mentored and supported over 65 startup founders throughout India. Furthermore, more than 250 mentors and investors have participated so far, including a large number of VCs, angel investors, HNIs, and others.

In order to help them succeed, the accelerator works with a select group of founders, offering them industry-best mentorship, strategic advice, insights, and more. Eventually, a small number of them receive funding checks.

In each Sprint, the program brings together founders of a few high-potential startups from different sectors and regions of the nation for feedback loops, co-learning-and-building, go-to-market (GTM) execution, and one-on-one mentoring from seasoned operators and mentors, according to PedalStart.

According to PedalStart, it has already hosted eight successful Sprint events, assisting numerous startups in growing and launching their businesses more quickly in the early stages and in obtaining funding to expand. In addition to offering insightful industry knowledge, the offline sessions, which are led by mentors and experts, explore the business models, operations, and growth bottlenecks of the participating startups and help them develop a roadmap for implementing their short- and long-term goals.

Notable startups that have emerged from the PedalStart Start-up Sprint in recent months include Shoegr, InsightAI, Nuvie, and Flowwat.
