Nikhil Kamath‘s WTFund has launched its third cohort, named C1/25, offering ₹20 lakh in non-dilutive grants to entrepreneurs under 25. This initiative aims to support young founders by providing financial assistance without requiring equity exchange, along with mentorship to help develop and grow their startup ideas. Applications for this cohort are currently open.
Previously, WTFund had unveiled its first 15 grantees, which included startups like Pamawel, Mars, Oh! Nuts, Pawsible Foods, and RNT Health Insights, BYTES, among others. These startups span various industries, from health tech to sustainable food solutions.
Additionally, the second cohort of WTFund selected 22 founders across nine startups, including ReferRush, an e-commerce referral sales platform. ReferRush’s CEO, Vikram Pai F. , shared his journey of overcoming multiple business failures before being selected for the fund.
WTFund continues to foster innovation among India’s youth by providing necessary resources and guidance to emerging entrepreneurs.
