#4 Startup India Hub: Understanding that many Startups do not reach their full potential due to limited guidance and access, the Government of India has decided to create a single point of contact, Startup India Hub, for the entire startup ecosystem and enable knowledge exchange and access to funding. The Startup India hub will work in a hub and spoke model and will collaborate actively with Central & State governments, Indian and foreign VCs, angel networks, banks, incubators, legal partners, consultants, universities and R&D institutions. It will also organise mentorship programs and will assist startups with respect to different aspects such as obtaining financing, feasibility testing, business structuring advisory, enhancement of marketing skills, technology commercialization and management evaluation.
