The panel has multiple offers on the table ranging from collective funding, debt, equity as well as royalty are amongst many of the offers laid in front of the entrepreneurs. A startup may then choose to consult an in-house business expert upon receiving more than one offer. Finally, the entrepreneur accepts or declines the offers. In addition to this, promising start-ups are given incubation and mentorship if they aren’t offered funding – win-win situations!
