GSF Global Tech Accelerator

GSF Accelerator is India’s largest and the most renowned tech accelerator, founded by Rajesh Sawhney, and backed by 20 iconic Indian Digital Founders in India and 5 leading funds from across the world. GSF aims to provide promising startups in mobile, social, local and cloud spaces with unparalleled access to venture & business networks, personalized & intensive mentoring, and initial capital.

GSF has evolved significantly since its launch 18 months ago. 24 startups (over 2 batches) and 30 EIRs have since gone through the GSF platform. Many of our startups are getting huge consumer traction, quite a few have received further seed & VC funding and some have even become world famous. Facebook’s acquisition (first ever in South Asia) of a GSF Accelerator company, Little Eye Labs, validates our belief that Indian product startups have the potential to go global.

GSF now goes global with the launch of GSF Global Accelerator, a first-in-the-world cross-border accelerator program. 12 high-tech startups will be selected for the program: 8 from India and the rest through our strategic alliance partners in South East Asia, Eastern Europe and North America. These startups will join us on a journey of 13 weeks through India, Singapore, Silicon Valley, New York, Toronto and Boston. Its objectives:
- World class platform for emerging world tech startups to deeply immerse in global tech hubs of the world
- Connect entrepreneurs to peers, mentors and potential long-term advisors to the company
- Build partnerships and business relationships to launch products in their target markets
- Connect with local venture funds and Angel Investors to raise funds
