Funding for Startups

Note: The venue has been shifted to Saahas 3/Dome 3, SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Inside Bhavans College Campus, Andheri West, Mumbai - 400058

In a recent study, it was found that 94% of the startups fail in its first year of operation. Guess what's the most common reason behind it? Fundraising. No business can run without enough capital investment. And that's why one of the key questions entrepreneurs keep asking is, How do I finance my startup?

We will answer the question in our next meetup. Join us this Saturday as we explore all about Startup Funding. We will have speakers to help you guide through the steps to prepare the best pitch deck. Not only that, but our speakers will also talk about what an investor looks for in a startup before committing to make an investment.

We will also discuss the documentation required while fundraising and dilution of equity. To add on top of this, we have startups who will share their experiences of fundraising, what worked for them and what did not. 

If this sounds like something you can benefit from, join us this Saturday. Register online or at the venue itself. If you have any queries or doubts, feel free to reach out to one of the volunteers.
