Put your partners and experts one private message away from every startup
Startups ask privately on your WhatsApp number, and the partner or expert who fits is asked first. Your team sees which needs came up and who delivered.
Startups, experts, partners and alumni in one directory
Each WhatsApp group gets its own join link, so you can see who joined from where. A faculty member who is also a mentor has one profile.

Ask and help
Matching runs across everyone who has turned on offers. Limiting a request to one group, such as service partners only, is planned for a later release.
What resident startups ask your network
Specialist help at the right moment. Milvao asks the partner or expert whose profile fits, not whoever happens to read the group.

Sample requests. Names are made up.
The partners you signed up, actually used
Incubators spend months building a list of service partners and experts. Milvao puts each of them one private message away from the startups that need them.
- Your partner network gets used
The CAs, IP attorneys, labs and experts you signed up are asked when a startup's request fits them, instead of waiting in a spreadsheet.
- Startups ask privately
Early founders often don't want to ask basic questions in front of other startups. A private message to your number solves that.
- Evidence for your reviews
Requests, partner introductions and outcomes are counted, so programme reviews rest on what happened.
- Chartered accountantsCompany registration, GST, bookkeeping, valuations
- IP attorneysPatent searches, filings, trademark questions
- Testing and certification labsProduct testing, certification, prototype checks
- Legal firmsShareholder agreements, ESOPs, contracts
- Design and manufacturingPrototyping, small production runs, packaging
- Domain experts and facultySector advice, pilot reviews, research access
What your incubator can show its board and funders
Counted from what actually happened during the residency, not from a survey at the end.
- Requests by need
- what your startups asked for most: legal, IP, testing, funding, customers
- Partner introductions
- which partners and experts were asked, and how many said yes
- Requests your network couldn't meet
- handed to your team with the reason, so you know which partners to add
- Time to a yes
- median time from a confirmed request to an accepted introduction
