SPLIT
Ten founders one room ninety days
We put ten founders in one room and build ten ventures from zero.
₹1.5 crore each. Ninety days to launch. You stay CEO. You keep your company.
Ghode race track ke liye hote hain.
We don't teach founders. We build alongside them. Ten at a time, from zero.
Advice is cheap. A deck of frameworks is cheaper. What actually moves a company off zero is capital, a team that builds beside you, and nine other founders in the room who refuse to lose.
SPLIT is not a course and it is not a cohort of spectators. It is a room. We select for the exceptional, then put our own capital and our own hands behind them.
We race thoroughbreds, not donkeys. That is the whole filter.
Three moves. In order. Each one done with you, not to you.
Co-Found
From rough idea to first launch. Product, brand, and go-to-market are co-built with you. Not advised from a deck.
Fund
We structure and close your first institutional round with partner investors. From deck to runway, cleanly.
Scale
Programmatic growth systems. Distribution, retention, brand architecture, built for real unit economics.
We write a ₹1.5 crore cheque to every founder we take. You keep the majority of your company.
The exact terms are revealed on Day 1, inside the cohort.
We don't hand you a list of investors. We sit on your side of the table.
In the room, in front of capital.
You pitch institutional VCs with a company that is already built, launched, and moving. Not a promise on a slide.
Then we build the round with you.
We structure terms, run the process, and stay in it until the round is closed and the runway is real.
The rails you don't rebuild. The lines you can't buy.
Shared Infrastructure
Ops, legal, design, and growth on tap. The plumbing every founder wastes a year rebuilding is already running when you arrive.
Network Access
Direct lines to investors, operators, and partners. Introductions that would take you two years, made in week one.
The Collective
Nine other founders in the room with you. Same fire, different problems. The ten of you become each other's unfair advantage.
Not a community. Not a network group. The ten.
Portfolio
Cohort 01 hasn't launched yet. This space is being earned, not decorated.
When the ten companies exist, they live here. Until then we will not fake a single one.
Backed institutionally.
SPLIT is built with RISE Foundation, IISER Kolkata. Institutional weight behind a founder-first program. No investor logos we haven't earned yet.
Paras Mani
He builds operators, not audiences. SPLIT is the room he wished existed when he started.
One founder. One conviction. Ten seats a year.
