So/Facet is a D2C lab-grown diamond jewellery startup operating entirely outside the accelerator's mandate of AI-native B2B software and defensible deep technologies. While the founders show strong consumer branding and commercial experience from Unilever and ITC, the product lacks technical defensibility under the thesis criteria. Additionally, the company is pre-revenue and pre-launch with only a 200-person waitlist.

So/Facet is a D2C and omnichannel lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, presenting a complete mismatch with the accelerator's mandate for AI-native B2B software and defensible deep technologies. While the co-founders hold strong brand marketing and commercial backgrounds from Unilever and ITC and raised a ₹10 crore seed round, the business lacks proprietary technology or technical differentiation.
