Unitus announced that it has signed on 11 business accelerators and incubators including Catalyzer, Khosla Labs, IIM Calcutta, Deshpande Foundation and Startup Oasis as program partners. Over the next 2 years, Speed2Seed partners are looking to dramatically increase the percentage of their graduates receiving venture capital within 6 months of graduation. India incubators have an industry average of less than 5% of graduates receiving funding in that time frame. Accelerators are often more successful, with an industry average of 25%.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/usf.vc\/updates\/unitus-announces-speed2seed-program-to-help-more-indian-startups-raise-venture-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the full announcement here &gt;<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"tags\">Tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/catalyzer\/\" rel=\"tag\">Catalyzer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/deshpande-foundation\/\" rel=\"tag\">Deshpande foundation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/funding\/\" rel=\"tag\">funding<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/iim-calcutta\/\" rel=\"tag\">IIM Calcutta<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/khosla-lab\/\" rel=\"tag\">khosla lab<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/speed2seed\/\" rel=\"tag\">speed2seed<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/startup-oasis\/\" rel=\"tag\">Startup Oasis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/startups\/\" rel=\"tag\">startups<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/unitus-seed-fund\/\" rel=\"tag\">unitus seed fund<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/unituslabs.org\/updates\/tag\/venture-capital\/\" rel=\"tag\">venture capital<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unitus Seed Fund Announces Speed2Seed Program Partnering with 11 India business accelerators and incubators to graduate more startups that can raise money quickly. 6 February, 2015 \u2013 Bangalore.
