What can Cultural Enterprises expect from NICEorg?

Team NICE would do the initial round of screening to assess NICE sector fit, revenue & sustainability, addressable market and growth envisaged, route to profitability, besides, the strength of the founding team.

It would also carry out a basic due diligence (DD) on a best effort basis requesting disclosure of company registrations and GST details, Indian Bank account, IP or legal cases pending. This is not a substitute in any way for the legal, financial, customer and other due diligence to be done by the NICE Investor prior to funding.

NICEorg will, thereafter, organize and facilitate interactions between the cultural enterprises and an expert panel of mentors to further shortlist the companies that will be presented to NICE Angels on NICE Angels Day.

It is important to note that NICEorg is not an investor, but only a facilitator in the funding process.
