It always surprises me that VC's very, very rarely if ever talk about their investments that failed. On the other hand we keep saying that we should not fear failure. In my opinion the founders of these companies need to be recognised for making efforts that many of us (myself for sure) would never had the courage to even attempt. In this context I'd like to recognise Kanika Agarrwal for having openly and candidly talked about why her venture failed (caveat, I was an investor) https://lnkd.in/gQ_YkG78 Their learning's could be even more valuable than those of the successes so surprised why it's not discussed. Reinforces the point I've made in an earlier post about tolerance for failure being a key element of innovation. #india #innovation #startup #failure #venturecapital #vc Sateesh Andra Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA)

Met an entrepreneur from Jammu Draper Startup House Hyderabad, who has an experience of more than 20 years as a finance professional was seeking an advice on fund raising. which reminded me, if your passionate about things you can seek knowledge from anyone on it. #startup #entrepreneur #mindset

Most Conglomerate in India started as trading houses and then one by one they started to capture every industry. Do not shy away thinking it's small , if you have a very big goal then you will eventually reach there and be able to build what you truly desired. The knowledge of VC that we got exposed to in last few years is making us think of an idea which is venture back able, which makes us even more slow . Just build something small or start with trading or services and let your original dream project take shape with the profits you generate from that small project. People with money will always think about number , people they know and people with pedigree if you are not in this category do not bother just build it slowly. Always think of something which can be started without VC money and you will thrive . An independent founder with profitable business has my respect and hopefully from few others like me if not all ! #startup #journey

As an investor and who runs Fund India receive requests from young early stage #founder who want to develop #MVP, #POC & a #product. 🙂 Sir I have an Idea and I am looking for #funding 🙂 Sir I need money to develop my MVP/POC 🙂 Sir I have my #startup registered now I need funds to build my team and business 🙂 Sir I need money to launch my #product in the #market 🙂 Sir we are still pre-revenue can I get #funding While it's encouraging to see so many aspiring #entrepreneurs, It’s evident that there’s a lack of understanding about the #funding ecosystem. I urge these #founders to put themselves in the #investor’s shoes. Why would anyone invest even $1 in a business that isn't operational or lacks proof of concept? #Investors are putting their hard-earned money at risk if they are not based on calculated risks vis-à-vis potential rewards. Fund India invests in Speed, Talent & Vision If you are seeking #investment, ensure that you have a #value proposition, a secret sauce, right #timing and ability to sustain in next 5 years . Remember that just having an idea or forming a company doesn’t guarantee #funding. Also do not rely on the hope that someone will invest. . In fact #fundraising is now a very professional journey of excellence , hard work ,perseverance & continuous process of exhibiting your startup to potential #investors.

Scams. Cheats. Liars. While there are a bunch of these folks across every industry, the startup space sees a very unique bunch. While there are several variations of Founder, VC, Advisor, Mentor scams, I'm addressing one particular type today. A lady called Sonal Patel based in Bombay reached out, claiming to be the founder of Unnati Ventures India, asking for investment in startups through her. She promised 35% IRR. I pushed her on how this is achievable. She said it's her personal guarantee. I asked her if she'll give me post dated cheques. She said yes, for a minimum investment of ₹50 lakhs, she will guarantee 40% IRR with post-dated cheques. For any investors considering becoming an LP, or investing in startups through angel groups, PLEASE vet the people you're dealing with. As Founders, similarly, I understand fundraising is hard but avoid working with unscrupulous 'investor networks' like these. Startups are VERY high risk investments, ones I wouldn't recommend unless you either: 1. Have a net worth over ~₹50 crore, ideally ₹100 crore ($12 million) 2. You have worked with the founder closely / you're a VC and understand the risk on your personal capital SEBI AIF guidelines MANDATE the risks being showcased and highlighted with private investments. You CANNOT guarantee returns in this space, if you are, you're running a ponzi scheme. The lady in question has blocked me after I pointed out these facts. #venturecapital #startups #funding #fundraising #scam

The House of Saud, the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia, is recognized as the wealthiest family globally, with a fortune exceeding $1.4 trillion. This immense wealth primarily stems from the country's substantial oil reserves, which are managed by the state-owned entity, Saudi Aramco. Under the leadership of King Salman, the family's financial resources surpass those of prominent billionaires such as Elon Musk, Mukesh Ambani, and Gautam Adani. Additionally, the House of Saud's influence is not limited to the oil sector; they have diversified their investments across various industries, reinforcing their position at the top of global wealth rankings.
