Karnataka's flagship grant program providing one-time seed grants to early-stage startups across the state, with no equity dilution. This listing corresponds to the same ELEVATE General track described above, and is worth noting separately because Startup Karnataka periodically reopens ELEVATE application windows as fresh calls (for example the ELEVATE 2026 call) rather than running one continuously open portal — applicants should check the current call's dates on the Startup Karnataka site rather than assuming year-round eligibility. As with the other ELEVATE tracks, disbursal follows the two-tranche, milestone-review structure rather than a single lump-sum payout.
