SX/01 · APPLICATIONS OPEN

The semester that isn’ton your degree.

Investors your age, backing students who already build,
and building right alongside them.

Every degree has eight semesters.We made the one for building.

What we are

Probably the youngest investors you’ll ever pitch. We put money in, then build alongside you. Built for students, open to anyone who ships.

What we see

Great companies starting in hostel rooms, labs and metro rides. Quietly, and mostly unbacked.

What we want

A culture where building is the default. One small room every semester, starting with SX/01.

How it works

Simple on purpose.

  1. 8min

    Apply

    No essays to win. Your application stays live; post what ships.

  2. 14days

    Decide

    If we want to go deeper, we talk. We aim to decide within two weeks.

  3. ₹5Lup to

    Invest

    If we back you. Amount and terms set individually. Never guaranteed.

  4. 8weeks

    Build

    A room of ten. Monday commit, Friday proof. Then X Day: show the delta.

Plus hands (people who show up) and resources (whatever we have). Not a course. Not a certificate.

Already building? Good.

We’re new and we’re young: no portfolio yet, no famous alumni. Just real money, a small room, and someone your age across the table who reads every application.

Questions

01Who can apply?

Built for students: any college, any year, any sector. But if you build and ship, apply.

02Do I need a company, revenue or a cofounder?

No, no and no. Solo founders and unincorporated projects are welcome. Users, prototypes and experiments all count as proof.

03Can I apply with just an idea?

Yes, if you’re already doing something about it. Idea stage can be early. Zero agency is too early.

04Do I need to be from a top college?

No. Next question.

05How much do you invest, and for what?

Up to ₹5L in companies we choose to back. Amount, instrument and terms are decided individually and agreed before you commit. No standard equity percentage.

06Does applying guarantee investment?

No. Applying or participating doesn’t guarantee an investment, or any particular amount.

07Is it remote? Do I have to miss college?

We’re finalising the SX/01 format and will share the schedule before you commit. Nobody is asked to leave college.
