21M/s Spllit14/10/2024SPLLIT is a passenger-to-passenger shared mobility platform designed to make daily
commuting affordable, efficient, and trustworthy for students and young professionals. Many commuters travel the same routes at the same time but lack a reliable way to
connect with each other. Existing ride-hailing platforms are driver-centric, while informal
solutions like WhatsApp groups are unsafe and inconsistent. SPLLIT solves this problem using AI-based route and time matching that connects
verified users traveling similar routes. Users pay a low ₹19 daily connection fee to unlock
matched rides, communicate through in-app chat or calls, and split travel costs among
themselves. A feedback-driven trust system with ID verification and ratings improves
safety and reliability. The platform follows a campus-first approach, starting with IIT Madras and similar
environments to ensure high match density and fast adoption. In the long term, SPLLIT
aims to expand into tech parks, co-living spaces, event travel, and subscription-based
group mobility solutions, reducing commuting costs, traffic congestion, and
environmental impact.

30M/s Founder Edge22/04/2026Founder Edge is an on-demand platform built to help startup founders make better
decisions, faster. It connects founders with experienced operators—people who have
already built, scaled, and solved real startup challenges—through 1:1 paid video
sessions. Instead of spending weeks figuring things out alone or relying on generic
advice, founders can directly speak to someone who has faced a similar problem and
get clear, actionable guidance.
Unlike traditional mentorship, which is often long-term, unstructured, and dependent on
access or networks, Founder Edge is designed for instant, problem-specific support.
Founders don’t need to join cohorts, wait for introductions, or sit through generic
sessions. They can find the right expert, book a session, and get exactly what they
need—when they need it.
The platform focuses on areas like go-to-market strategy, growth, product, hiring, and
fundraising, ensuring founders receive practical insights, not theory. It removes
guesswork and replaces it with clarity, speed, and execution.
Looking ahead, Founder Edge will integrate AI to enhance expert matching, provide
pre-session insights, and deliver post-session action plans. The long-term vision
includes building a global expert network and attracting strategic investors to scale
access, improve product capabilities, and become the default platform for on-demand
startup expertise.
