Meet the 5 new startups picked by India’s TLabs for its sixth acceleration program

TLabs, an accelerator and early stage seed-fund in India for internet and mobile technology startups, has just revealed the five companies it has picked in the last three months.

TLabs runs an intensive four-month mentoring program. Besides that, the startups will also receive funding of INR 1.2 million (US$19,423), a co-working space, and other support from TLabs tech partners.

Since its inception in 2010, TLabs has backed 36 startups. “We have an 80 percent startup survival rate. That is one of the best rates globally. So far, 60 percent of the startups that got accepted by us went on to raise venture capital funding. The average funding raised is US$250,000,” Abhishek Gupta, who heads TLabs, told Tech in Asia at the demo day of its previous batch.

According to Gupta, the three main challenges facing startups in India are discovery, readiness of entrepreneurs, and friction in the market. Gupta himself was an entrepreneur before moving to TLabs. So he has first-hand experience dealing with these challenges.

Here are the five startups that TLabs backed:

1. Vidooly

Vidooly is an intelligent YouTube marketing and analytics suite for content creators, brands, and multi-channel networks that helps grow their channel, build audience base, and earn more revenue organically. Vidooly was also among the five startups from India picked by global accelerator program Zone Startups recently.

2. Wibe

Wibe recommends relevant videos to users while they read on the web. It is currently offered as a browser extension compatible with popular websites such as Google, Wikipedia, and Amazon.

3. Neuron

Neuron is a big data tool that examines a brand’s social presence (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest), picks up users who are interested in its products, and then uses deep learning to figure out which users are potential customers.

4. Flynx

Flynx is a floating browser for Android that makes multi-tasking effortless while browsing the web on mobile devices. It will load web pages in the background without obstructing current work-flow.
