Benefits - AgeTech-Bharat Accelerator

💰

Capital & Investment

Fair funding terms with transparent equity structure

₹10 Lakhs Guaranteed (Day 1)

On Day 1 of program, you receive ₹10 lakhs. No conditions. Use it to build your product, hire team, or market.

SAFE terms — Simple Agreement for Future Equity. No interest. No payback obligation. Converts to equity when you raise Series A or expire after 5 years.

₹25 Lakhs Optional (When You Raise)

If your product gains traction and you're ready for Series A or major seed round, we offer additional ₹25 lakhs SAFE investment.

Only if/when you raise external funding. Completely optional — you don't have to take it. But we want to support winners.

7% Equity (Day 1)

On Day 1, you also grant AgeTech-Bharat 7% equity. Standard for accelerators (YC also takes 7%). Transparent. Non-negotiable. Fair price for 6 months of intensive mentorship, capital, investor access, and workspace.

How SAFE Works

You get cash now. SAFE is like a promissory note. When you raise Series A, SAFE converts to equity at a 20% discount. You get 20% better terms than your Series A investors. If no Series A in 5 years, SAFE expires (no penalty).

Financial Example

You raise ₹50 Crore Series A. Your SAFE converts at 20% discount = ₹40 Crore valuation for SAFE conversion. AgeTech's ₹35L investment gets ~0.07% equity. Combined with 7% Day 1 equity, AgeTech owns ~7.07% of your company.

Upside Potential

If your company exits at ₹500 Cr (10x), AgeTech's 8% stake = ₹40 Crores. Return on ₹35L investment = 100x. Not bad for mentorship + capital.

Why This Is Better Than Alternatives

vs.

Angel Investors: They want equity + may not help. We want equity + will mentor you intensively.

vs.

Other Accelerators: They may take 3-10% equity with no capital. We give you guaranteed ₹10L + 7% equity.

vs.

YC: YC takes 7% with ~$125K (₹1Cr+). We take 7% + give ₹10L + ₹25L upside.

Test Your Product with Real Elderly Users

Fabricated smart homes with actual elderly residents

The Problem AgeTech Founders Face

You're building products for elderly. But where do you test with REAL elderly users? Not in your office. Not in a tech lab. In a home. With real elderly people. Who have different needs, capabilities, and expectations than you.

The Solution

AgeTech-Bharat has fabricated smart homes at AMTZ with 5-10 real elderly residents (60+). Living, breathing test subjects. Paying participants. In actual home environments.

What's Inside:

🛏️

Smart Bedroom

Sleep monitoring, fall detection, vitals, emergency alerts

🛋️

Smart Living Room

Activity tracking, entertainment, engagement

🍳

Smart Kitchen

Cooking assistance, nutrition, medication reminders, safety

🚿

Smart Bathroom

Most critical for elderly safety, fall prevention, health monitoring

🚪

Entry/Exit

Door locks, visitor control, emergency alerts

📍

Movement Tracking

Activity monitoring throughout home

How You Use It

Month 1

Install your product, train elderly residents

Month 2-5

Ongoing testing, data collection, feedback sessions

Month 6

Final validation, capture testimonials

Result: Market-ready product with real user validation

Data You Get

📊

Behavioral Data

How elderly actually use product (not assumptions)

📈

Quantitative Data

Usage metrics, accuracy, performance

🎥

Qualitative Data

Video observations, elderly quotes, frustrations

🏥

Health Data

If applicable, vitals correlation, clinical efficacy

💬

Testimonials

Video quotes from elderly (powerful for investors)

Why This Matters

Elderly users are NOT like tech founders. They think differently. Use products differently. What works in prototype fails with real users. Our smart homes let you discover and fix problems BEFORE market launch. This de-risks your product dramatically. No other accelerator offers this.

Investor Impact

VCs ask: "Have you tested with actual elderly users?"

You say: "Yes. 5-10 residents for 6 months. Here's the data."

VCs say: "Funded."
