Capabilities

Canvas & financials generator

Auto-generates a lean canvas and three-year financials — a fundable business case from a chat.

Scheme navigator

Maps eligibility for Startup India, DST and MSME grants, with the steps to apply.

Co-founder matching

Google for Startups pathway

Opens the path to Google for Startups — up to $250K in cloud credits for qualifying ventures.

AlmaBay alumni network

AI in action

An idea becomes a fundable, SDG-mapped venture.

Job-creators, not just job-seekers.

Startup Edge takes a one-line idea and returns a lean canvas, financials, scheme eligibility and matched co-founders — then AlmaBay keeps the founder connected as a future mentor and funder.

  • Refine ideas and auto-generate canvas, financials and pitch deck
  • Navigate Startup India / DST / MSME and Google for Startups

  • A path to Google for Startups and up to $250K in cloud credits
  • AlmaBay keeps alumni as mentors, funders & recruiters
  • Each cohort feeds the next — a self-reinforcing loop
