Founder-Being LaunchPad announces venture-building program in Kochi

Founder-Being LaunchPad has announced its first 16-week venture-building program cohort for young entrepreneurs aged 15 to 25. The program is scheduled to begin on October 4, 2026, at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in Kochi.

Designed for individuals looking to transition from an idea to a real-world test, the curriculum follows a hands-on approach where participants work on a single venture. The program is structured into four phases: Discover, Design & Build, Find the Market, and Become Venture-Ready. It consists of 16 modules covering topics such as customer discovery, idea validation, business models, prototyping, and artificial intelligence for founders.

Applications for the program close on September 25, 2026. The initiative aims to provide structure, mentorship, and accountability to founders who are already prepared to execute their ideas.
