How can a startup get funding?

The path from an idea to money in the bank, in the order it actually happens. Each step has one thing to prove before the next one is worth starting.

  1. 01

    Validate the idea

    Find ten people with the problem who will talk to you, and one who will pay before you have built anything. Validation is evidence of demand, not agreement that the idea sounds good.

  2. 02

    Build an MVP

    The smallest thing that lets someone get the outcome they wanted. Scope it to what you can put in front of a user in weeks, not quarters — the point is to learn what you were wrong about.

  3. 03

    Get initial traction

    Usage that repeats without you pushing it. Retention, revenue and referral are the three that survive scrutiny; downloads, signups and waitlist size do not.

Fundraising guides

Ten guides covering the whole process, from the first deck to the closing paperwork.

All guides

How to create a startup pitch deck

Ten to twelve slides, in the order that makes the argument. What each one has to prove, and the three that decide whether the rest get read.

7 min read

How much funding should a startup raise?

Size the round to the milestone, not to the market. How runway, burn and the next round's bar decide the number.

6 min read

Pre-seed vs Seed vs Series A

What each stage is actually buying, what has to be true to raise it, and the cheque sizes these labels tend to mean in India.

How to approach angel investors

Warm paths, the first email, and what an angel is actually deciding in the twenty minutes they give you.

How much should I raise?

Size a round against the runway it has to buy. Enter monthly figures in rupees.

This is an estimate, not financial advice. It rearranges the numbers you entered and assumes nothing about your revenue, growth or valuation.

Estimated raiseEnter a burn and a runway
  • Enter a monthly burn to see a figure. With no burn there is nothing to fund.
  • 04

    Prepare your financials

    Know your burn, your runway, your unit economics and your cap table to the rupee. You will be asked all four in the first meeting.

    Build the pitch deck

    Ten to twelve slides that make the argument in order: problem, insight, product, evidence, market, plan, team, ask.

    Read the guide
  • 06

    Identify the right investors

    Stage, sector and cheque size have to match before anything else matters. A brilliant pitch to a fund that does not write your cheque is a wasted month.

    Read the guide
  • 07

    Start outreach

    Warm introductions convert several times better than cold email. Build the list, find the paths, and run the process in parallel rather than one fund at a time.

    Read the guide
  • 08

    Run due diligence

    Diligence is a document exercise you can be ready for months early. Being ready is itself a signal.

    Read the guide
  • 09

    Negotiate the terms

    Valuation is the number founders watch and rarely the term that costs them most. Read the preference, the pool and the control rights first.

    Read the guide
  • 10

    Close the round

    Signed documents, money received, filings made. In India that includes the Companies Act paperwork and, for a foreign investor, the FEMA reporting — none of which is optional.
