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
gradCapital 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.

Students are irrational optimists who can change human trajectory
Their radical thesis is their long term competitive advantage. Facebook, Google, Oyo, Pharmeasy, Greyorange were founded by students, and they changed how humans fundamentally interact with society using technology.
