The Global Hypergrowth Karnataka Program

Late-Stage Scaling Program, Hypergrowth Global, Actively Recruiting in Karnataka

Startup Genome’s Hypergrowth Karnataka initiative, a late-stage scaling program set to launch in October, is currently recruiting scaleups in the region. 


Hypergrowth Global is the premier scaling program designed to equip executives with the skills and global business networks necessary to achieve hypergrowth—aiming for multi-billion-dollar IPOs and exits. 


Through global commercialization and executive mentorship support, this program is tailored to address the unique growth needs of scaleups in Karnataka and is designed to transform them into global category leaders. 


This first cohort of the program is focused on Enterprise SaaS and FinTech scaleups. If you’re a founder based in Karnataka, who has raised a Series A or has over $1m in ARR and are looking to expand into the US market, apply for our program. 



  • A Peer to Peer Program Accomplished execs work on a set of common scaling challenges, led by global experts from the world’s most successful companies
  • Global Scaling Mentorship 6 months of individual mentorship sessions with leading executives who have been on the scaleup journey

  • Global Advisory Panels Access to international panels supporting your go-to-market and fundraising strategies, helping you to unlock new markets
