TLabs Launches its Accelerator in Bangalore, Will Offer $50k to Each Startup

Times Internet’s startup accelerator TLabs has expanded its program to Bangalore. The accelerator will be offering a larger amount of initial capital and establishing a presence in Bangalore.

In past 3 years, TLabs had 6 batches and have accelerated over 36 total startups of which more than 60% of startups have raised on average $450k in follow on funding.

Starting in January, TLabs will offer its accelerator program out of Delhi / NCR and Bangalore. In addition to expansion, TLabs has also increased the amount of capital it will invest in each startup to $50000 which means now the valuation offered to each startup will range from INR 3.5 Cr.– 4 Cr.

We are entrepreneur friendly, and we want to work with world class teams to build the next big business together. With the expansion and funding increase, we can work with more evolved startups, and we can offer them more help to reach their goals.”
