FAQs

No, we don’t provide degrees or diplomas. We focus on giving you essential skills, networking opportunities, and job prospects to excel as a leader or potential founder in the startup sector.

We concentrate on key startup roles such as Founder’s Office, Entrepreneur-In-Residence (EIR), Product Management (PM), P&L Leaders, and Special Projects Leaders. These roles typically come with a substantial compensation package and offer opportunities for growth and leadership within startups.

We believe that intensive and transformative programs require in-person interactions. While our program includes asynchronous learning, all synchronous learning happens in-person within the vibrant startup community in Bengaluru.

Please fill up the enquiry form available on the website. We will get in touch with you to guide you through the process of applying to Mesa.

Broadly speaking there are 3 steps to the process:

1. Give the online Mesa Admissions Test (MAT)

2. Submit your application form for Cohort’ 25

3. Get invited for interviews with admissions committee.

Applying for Mesa is an invite only process. Owing to the large volume of enquiries please give us a few days to get back to you with the next steps. Thank you for being patient.
