India Accelerator, V S Fortune launch Rs 100 Cr LeapFWD program for 10 proptech startups

India Accelerator (IA), a multistage fund-led accelerator, in collaboration with V S Fortune, has launched LeapFWD, a sector-focused accelerator program designed to identify, nurture, and scale high-potential startups driving innovation in the proptech and construction tech sectors.

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between innovation and industry adoption by empowering ten promising startups working at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and construction efficiency.

Through a four-month accelerator program, startups will gain access to structured mentorship, business development opportunities, and a joint funding pool of Rs 100 to 150 crore, supported by IA, V S Fortune, and their investor networks.

LeapFWD will serve as a launchpad for startups developing solutions in areas such as smart real estate, automation in construction, sustainable materials, and digital infrastructure. Participating startups will also have the opportunity to pilot their innovations with real estate developers, infrastructure companies, and other ecosystem partners.

The program will culminate in a Demo Day, where founders will pitch their solutions to a curated audience of investors, industry leaders, and corporate partners. The first LeapFWD cohort will begin in December 2025 and run until March 2026, concluding with a Demo Day where participating startups will present their innovations to investors, corporates, and ecosystem stakeholders.
