The start-up community in Goa has been gaining momentum over the last few years, given the popularity of the state as a destination where workstations are as popular as vacations. With the critical aspects of start-up incubation – mentorship, knowledge, network and funding – being carefully customised to provide maximum benefit to each business idea, and with a fully-equipped incubation centre with prototyping labs, design centre, co-working space and cafeteria, FiiRE provides invaluable insights as well as a community of co-workers and start-up founders who collaborate and support each other. The high motivation levels have helped build resilience in the early stages of the business.
