  • What is inFINity?
    InFINity 2.0 is an intensive 12-week hybrid (in- person plus virtual) accelerator to empower and leapfrog early-stage FinTech startups. This is a zero equity program where you will get access to top industry leaders who would be committed to turbo- boost your journey and see you succeed.
  • Who is encouraged to apply?
    Early-stage FinTech start-ups: • Seeking Seed to Series-A funding • Have already developed an MVP • Have raised under $10M
  • Who is an ideal candidate for inFINity?
    If you meet all three eligibility criteria and are committing your time for the duration of the program, including the 3-day in-person boot camp in Mumbai and the virtual office hours, then you are an ideal candidate for this program.
  • Is this a full-time commitment?
    inFINity consists of three main components, and to derive maximum benefit for your start-up, the founders should commit to all three: 1. Preferably all, but at least one, of the co-founders would be required to be present for the in-person bootcamp in Mumbai from 6 th March 2025 to 8 th March 2025. 2. Post the bootcamp, you can leverage one-on-one mentorship with AWS and PayU teams for personalized advice on your startup’s technology stack, GTM and pitch deck. We are committing upto 3 hours of mentorship per startup at PayU. 3. Preferably all, but at least one, of the co-founders would be required to be present for the in- person demo day in Bengaluru in the last week of May, 2025. If the co-founders do not have sufficient bandwidth to commit to this schedule, then we would advise applying for the next cohort of inFINity instead when you might have better availability. The inFINity team strongly respects and appreciates the various mentors who are volunteering their time and effort towards this initiative, and therefore we will be firm in implementing the mentioned attendance guidelines.
