Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our application process
What are the eligibility criteria for applying?
While we prioritize applications from Bennett University students and alumni, our programs are open to all entrepreneurs with innovative ideas and a commitment to building scalable businesses. We evaluate applications based on the strength of the idea, market potential, and team capabilities.
How long does the application process take?
Our initial review takes up to 2 weeks. If shortlisted, you'll be invited for an interview within the following week. The entire process from application to final decision typically takes 3-4 weeks.
Can I apply if my idea is still in the conceptual stage?
Yes! Our Ideation Program is specifically designed for early-stage ideas that need refinement and validation. We'll help you develop your concept, validate the problem-solution fit, and prepare for the next stage of development.
Do I need to have a complete team to apply?
While having a diverse team with complementary skills is beneficial, solo founders are also welcome to apply. If accepted, we can help connect you with potential co-founders or team members as needed.
Is there any cost to participate in the programs?
Our programs are offered at no monetary cost to participants. Instead, Bennett Hatchery may take a small equity stake (typically 2-5%) in startups accepted into the Incubation or Acceleration programs. The Ideation Program is completely free with no equity requirement.
