India’s startup ecosystem in 2025 is at a pivotal inflection point. While flashy VC rounds have slowed, the focus has quietly shifted toward real business building — and Favcy Venture Builders is leading the way with the launch of Cohort 2 of its 1to10 Accelerator.


After a strong debut last year, the accelerator has returned stronger than ever. Over 400+ founder applications poured in this year from across the country — a testament to the hunger for structured support beyond pitch decks and capital chases.


Favcy’s 1to10 Accelerator is built for first-time and early-stage founders navigating the “chaos zone” between a validated idea and product-market fit. And with a growing portfolio of co-built startups and the strength of the Favcy VB and 1stCheque investor ecosystem behind it, the program is uniquely positioned to help founders build backbones, not just buzz.


What’s Different About 1to10?


Cohort 2 offers:

  • 30+ accomplished mentors including operators, investors, ex-founders, and domain experts

  • Weekly execution-focused masterclasses on GTM, MVP, fundraising, and scale

  • 1:1 mentoring and pitch feedback loops

  • Access to the Favcy shared startup infrastructure, helping founders reduce cost and time to market


The program runs for 10 weeks, and ends with a Demo Day in front of a curated pool of active angels and micro-VCs. Importantly, founders retain full autonomy — there’s no equity taken upfront, and the goal is simple: help founders go from 1 to 10.


Why This Matters in 2025?


As per Inc42’s Q2 2025 Indian Startup Outlook, over 70% of first-time founders now prefer structured accelerators over “dilutive funding at the idea stage.” They’re looking for execution frameworks, early traction, and customer love — and not just chase “vanity raises.”


This is exactly what 1to10 offers.


Whether you’re at idea stage or have early pilots, 1to10 gives you a runway, not just a runway extension.
