Questions

Straight answers.

Can I apply solo?

Yes. Half the point is finding your cofounder. Week 1 is team formation — you'll build with people you meet in the cohort.

Is this full-time?

The fixed commitments are light: Sunday session, Saturday masterclass, two 30-minute expert slots. The building is yours to schedule. Goa (3 days) and the last two weeks in Bangalore are in person.

When do I pay?

Only after you're accepted. You'll receive payment details with your invite; the seat is confirmed once payment clears.

Does Masai take equity?

No. No equity, no revenue share, no strings. You pay the program fee and keep 100% of what you build.

Is funding guaranteed?

No. We guarantee the pitch, not the cheque. You pitch India Quotient, Capria and Prana directly in Bangalore; the decision is theirs.
