Students change

the world

Sometimes you obsess over a project so much that you lose sleep over it and can’t attend classes. That project could change the world. gradCapital gives $40k to outliers like you.

It starts by being a rebel.
By being an irrational optimist.‍
By being an underdog.
By building with friends.‍
‍
And then you find your break.
Then it all seems worth it.

At gC, you receive $40K in funding, and become part of our 4-week cohort

Founders we fund come to Bangalore for 4 weeks and participate in closed room conversations with some of the best.

They are like the seniors you've never had.
