Screening of applications to identify and shortlist best-suited candidates, who then go through interview before selection of finalist/s.
The start-up will be onboarded onto the Hatcher where they will work closely with Nestle and be provided with the necessary business and technology support and remunerated for pilot phase. Pilots run for approximately 2 to 6 weeks depending on the solution.
At the end of Pilot, the start-up will present their solution, findings and learnings. The Nestle Team will decide if hey want to scale the solution or not, and the participating start-up/s will be notified of the decision.
