Cohort 01 / August 2026 / Offline + Online
We back founders before the world does.
From Dorm Rooms to Boardrooms.
We don't care if it's just a Figma file, a Notion doc, or chaos on a whiteboard. If the vision hits, we're listening.
01 / Who we are
This is where it starts.
Dorm2VC is for founders who have the fire but not the funding. We work with you before anyone else will. Raw ideas welcome.
We help you get clear, move fast, and build something real in three months. Most incubators want traction first. We want the obsession.
We invest our time, tools, network, and space into founders we believe. We grow alongside the companies we help build.
02 / What you get
Access to AI tools and infrastructure from day one. Build with the best, without the bill.
Deploy, scale, and test with cloud credits across major platforms. We cover the stack so you can focus on the product.
Connections to mentors, operators, and the wider startup ecosystem. The right people at the right stage of your journey.
A dedicated physical space in Warangal. Show up, plug in, and build alongside people who are just as serious.
Your go-to kit for the startup journey. Merch and tools to remind you why you started.
Weekly check-ins and feedback from a founding team that is reachable. We're in it with you.
The online cohort is a community of founders building together from their dorms, rooms, and cafes across India. Same 3 months, same tools, same energy. Virtual standups, shared sprints, real accountability.
03 / Program rhythm
Talk to people. Kill your assumptions. Figure out what's actually worth building before you build anything.
Prototype to MVP. Ship something real, put it in front of users, and iterate fast with feedback.
Push for traction, sharpen your story, and present what you've built at Demo Day.
04 / The commitment
Not a weekend workshop. Twelve weeks of sustained building with real accountability baked in.
We're going all in on you. We need you to go all in on this. Half-effort doesn't build companies.
The space is there. The tools are there. The community is there. The rest is entirely on you.
This is the smallest we will ever be. The most access you'll ever have to the founding team.
This programme demands full commitment. If you're looking for something to squeeze in between classes, this isn't it. If you're ready to go all in on your idea for three months, we want to hear from you.
05 / Demo Day
At the end of three months, you'll share what you've built with people who get it. No theatrics. Just your work, your story, and where you're taking it next.
Demo Day is a milestone, not a performance. It's the moment we celebrate how far you've come, and the start of what's next.
You'll leave with something real. Something you built, tested, and can stand behind.
We help you get in front of the right people and prep you for your first real funding conversations.
The programme ends. The relationship doesn't. We stay invested in your vision and journey beyond the three months.
You become part of every cohort that comes after this one. Your people, for the long run.
06 / Questions
No hedging. No marketing speak. The honest answers to what founders actually ask before they commit three months.
07 / Get in touch
Have questions? Reach out. We read everything.
Cohort 1 is Warangal. We're not stopping there. Wherever you are building from, we're coming. Stay close.
