## Description

ELEVATE is an innovative grant-in-aid program initiated by the Government of Karnataka, aimed at supporting early-stage startups in India. The program provides essential seed funding for startups to convert their innovative ideas into viable proof-of-concept products. Participants receive not only financial backing—up to ₹1 crore—but also invaluable mentorship and incubation support from government-backed centers, ensuring comprehensive guidance in product development and validation.

ELEVATE encompasses two key initiatives: ELEVATE NxT, which focuses on high-complexity DeepTech innovations in areas such as Quantum technologies, AI, and Semiconductors; and ELEVATE Minorities, offering inclusive support for minority-led startups. This initiative is open to various business types, including private limited companies and registered partnerships, as long as they meet specific eligibility criteria. The program encourages startups to tackle real-world challenges with advanced technological solutions, fostering innovation that can disrupt industries and create new markets while making a societal impact.
