Every link opens the official source.
Each page has a free "Download Pitch Deck" button and the founder explaining it.
Listen to the episode, not just the slides.
Why the deck worked is worth more than how it looks.
Notice how plain they are.
Clarity and insight won the money. Fancy design didn't.
Copy the structure, not the content.

Launchpad questions
Before you apply
Do I need a finished deck to apply?
No. Mock pitches during the cohort help you build it. You need a real problem, some progress and the will to build.
Do I need a registered company?
No. You don't need a company or DPIIT recognition to apply.
Is it only for college students?
No. It's open to student founders and early-stage builders from any college in India.
What does it cost?
A one-time ₹999 application fee. If you're selected, there's no tuition. Launchpad takes 2% equity under a standard founder agreement, with no success fee on anything you raise.
What if I'm not selected?
You still get personal written feedback and access to every virtual leader and mentor session during the cohort. Pods, 1:1 office hours, investor intros and Demo Day are for the 20 selected founders.
