FAQs

We do not run calendar based programs for venture building. We onboard startups selectively and keep our focus on 3-4 startups in a year. We maintain the engagement with our startups from pre-seed till series A stage. The initial period of engagement, usually first 6-9 months or till first funding round, is more active.
Our broader timelines during venture building journey typically are as below:
a. Discovery & validation – 1 to 2 weeks
b. Strategy framing – 2 to 3 weeks
c. Execution & development – 4 to 8 weeks
d. Funding – 8 to 12 weeks
e. Scaling – Ongoing till next fund raise
However, this may vary depending on various external factors and response frequency of the founders for the required information.
We do not provide any co-working space since we do not operate like typical curriculum or event management driven incubators. We engage virtually and meet personally frequently, wherever in India you might be operating from.
Our core expertise lies in finance and offering financial resources. For areas like technology, marketing, legal etc., we have collaborated with domain experts to work along with us in the journey.
We prefer to engage post MVP or early product launch stage. We work with the founders who have a background and past exposure to the industry segment they are building their startup in. We do not engage with idea stage ventures.
We charge 4% advisory equity to the startups at the beginning of the engagement.
Other charges will include success fees on fund raising, onboarding and investor activation fee, nominal retainer fees and for any other specific project linked fees for due diligence, business development etc.
We have a network of over 1000 credible investors across angels, micro and large VCs, family offices, corporates to whom we pitch our startups for co- investments.

- High preference to founders with relevant industry background and experience.
- Preferred investment entry points - pre-revenue, early revenue and steady business growth
- Preferred valuation range between INR10-80crs
