Testimonials
Community Voices
"Before Labs90, my projects never made it past classroom demos. In 12 weeks, our team went from a vague idea to a live MVP, real users, and a clear hiring opportunity with our sponsor company."
"The biggest shift was being forced to validate, design, build, and launch on a tight timeline. Labs90 gave us a structure and a mentor who challenged every assumption until the product was investor-ready."
"Labs90 turned theory into execution for us. We didn't just 'learn about' product building; we shipped, got feedback, and pitched at the Bengaluru Conclave in front of real investors and hiring managers."
"The Labs90 model removes all the administrative friction from mentoring. With pre-reads, clear milestones, and coordinated check-ins, my 6–8 hours a month translate into real product breakthroughs for the teams."
"I've mentored student teams before, but this is the first time I've seen such a high completion and launch rate. The structure and accountability make it possible for students to build serious MVPs in just 12 weeks."
"Labs90 gives mentors true leverage. You guide a handful of high-intent teams, and by the end of the cohort they have working products, early traction, and in some cases, funding conversations already in motion."
"As an institution, we wanted proof of our students' capabilities, not just grades. Labs90 gave us that proof in the form of launched MVPs, sponsor internships, and alumni now embedded across India's startup ecosystem."
"Labs90 has become a core part of our industry-connect strategy. It bridges the gap between curriculum and what founders and hiring managers actually expect from graduates."
