// CAMPUS PARTNER PROGRAM · BATCH 01 · 2026

BUILD YOUR
VENTURE PORTFOLIO
BEFORE YOU GRADUATE.

You spot the founders on your campus. You bring them to 0to1.space. When we back them, you own a slice of their company — plus cash for every activation you run. The first campus program in India where the scout gets carry, not a certificate.

// THE OFFER

NOT A STIPEND.
A DEAL ORIGINATION FEE.

You earn like an early-stage investor does — for sourcing, for activating, for compounding. The cash keeps you active. The equity is why you're here.

per month

Floor stipend scales with tier and track record. Performance bonuses stack on top.

02 · EQUITY

Warrants in
every startup

0.05–0.2% equity warrant in each startup you scout that gets accepted. Vests over 2 years. Yours forever once vested.

03 · CARRY

Compounding
referral network

Earn carry on deals originated by scouts you recruited. Your tree pays you while you sleep.

04 · CREDENTIAL

VC-style
track record

Documented history of sourcing, evaluating, and activating early-stage companies before your degree is stamped.

REFERENCE · SWIGGY

BITS Pilani + IIT KGP alumni, 2014.

IPO-listed Nov 2024 at ~$10B+ market cap. A small warrant from the seed round, held through dilution, would be crores. College-founded, India-built.

REFERENCE · RAZORPAY

IIT Roorkee alumni, 2014.

YC 2015. Peaked at $7.5B valuation (2021). A 0.05% warrant from early days, at peak, would have been ~₹30 Cr. Single startup, single scout.

REFERENCE · HONASA (MAMAEARTH)

Seed → public markets, 2023 IPO.

Founded 2016. Listed on BSE/NSE Nov 2023 at ~₹10,000–12,000 Cr market cap range. A 0.1% warrant from seed through listing would land in the ~₹10 Cr territory.

// THE COMPOUNDING NETWORK

YOUR TREE PAYS YOU
WHILE YOU SLEEP.

Refer a scout. They source a startup — you earn carry on it. Their referral sources a startup — you earn carry on that too. Every node in the tree you build keeps generating, for years, without additional effort.

YOU (Campus Partner) ├── Scout A (you referred) │ ├── Startup X accepted → you earn carry on X │ └── Scout D (Scout A referred) → you earn second-degree carry on D ├── Scout B (you referred) │ └── Startup Y accepted → you earn carry on Y └── Scout C (you referred) └── Scout E (Scout C referred) → Scout C earns, you earn on Scout C
1st DEGREE

1% carry

Their first accepted startup. Then 0.5% per subsequent deal — ongoing.

2nd DEGREE

0.25–0.5% carry

Carry on deals from scouts that your referrals onboarded.

ELEVATED

1.5–2% carry

If your referral is promoted to Partner or City Lead, your carry rate elevates automatically.

// FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS.
ANSWERED STRAIGHT.

Is the equity real?

Yes. Warrants are issued via a standard 2-page agreement with a ₹1 exercise price, 2-year linear vesting, 6-month cliff. The moment you exercise, you're on the startup's cap table.

What happens if I leave mid-year?

Vested warrants are yours forever. Unvested ones are cancelled on exit. Referral carry on deals you originated before leaving — retained. New-deal carry stops on exit date.

How are you finding the first batch?

Direct applications from any college in India. Priority for founders already active in their college entrepreneurship cells or who have run a shipped side project. First 200 scouts get onboarded this cycle.

Do I need prior VC experience?

No. We care about conviction, hustle, and your ability to spot real founders on your campus. We'll train you on everything else in the first 14 days.

How long is the tenure?

12 months. You can reapply for a second year. New scouts are recruited every subsequent year to keep the network fresh and incentive-aligned.

Where does the 0.3% warrant pool come from?

Every startup accepted by 0to1 gives us 3.3% — 3% for 0to1 core equity, 0.3% for the Campus Partner warrant pool. Founders agree upfront because the campus network gives them distribution at 500+ colleges.
