Kicker: Flashpoint by T-Hub · A space-tech venture studio · Cohort 1 now open

The space sector has hard, unsolved problems. Build the company that solves one.

A venture studio anchored by Kheyti, built around one commercial reality: greenhouse farmers can produce 10x more with 60% less crop loss, but market access limits what they earn. Come build the company that closes that gap. 8,000 farmers from day one, sponsored pilots, 100% of the cap table stays with you.

ABOUT THE STUDIO

A venture studio built around one real problem and everything you need to solve it.

Flashpoint is T-Hub’s venture studio. This edition, anchored by Kheyti, starts with farmer market access.
You don’t need to arrive with a finished idea. Start with a validated commercial problem, direct access to farmers, and the runway to build a company around it.

What You Get:

8,000 farmers, from week one — Kheyti’s greenhouse network gives founders direct access to farmers for discovery and validation.
Sponsored pilots — Funded field validation so teams can test at real scale.
₹1L/month during build — A stipend during the build stage so founders can work on this full time.
Your first raise, supported — Introductions to a 200+ investor network through Kheyti and T-Hub.
100% of the company — No equity taken. The IP is yours.

THE PROBLEM - COHORT 1 FOCUS

One problem. Many ways to solve it.

Smallholder greenhouse farmers can now grow high-value crops with greater consistency. But fragmented buyers, weak logistics, procurement challenges and limited price visibility still constrain what farmers earn and what the sector can scale to.
Choose one, or bring your own:
B2B → Sell to buyers: Market linkages, buyer discovery and procurement, logistics and supply chain.
B2C → Sell to consumers: Commerce and aggregation, post-harvest commercialization.
B2G → Sell to institutions: Government and enterprise procurement, market intelligence and pricing.
Our thesis: the greenhouse is becoming a scalable platform for smallholder agriculture. The missing piece is a company that can reliably get that produce to market. This studio exists to find the team that builds it.
