Founder
“We're building a SME lending platform. Our CAC is ₹1,200 and LTV is ₹18,000. We've done ₹2.4Cr in disbursements in 6 months.”
Arjun Mehta
“What's your 90-day default rate? Not the one you're forecasting — the one you're actually sitting on. That number changes the entire conversation about your unit economics.”
Founder
“About 3.2% at 90 days. We've built a proprietary credit model using GST and bank statement data.”
Arjun Mehta
“3.2 is workable. The question I'd ask your team: what's the vintage on the cohort that default rate comes from — pre-₹50L disbursement or post? Because a model trained on ₹2.4Cr of paper isn't the same model you'll be running at ₹24Cr.”

From institutional VCs to your father's business partner. Every panelist has their own thesis, biases, and the one question they always ask.

Institutional VC
Arjun · Sarah · Cyrus · Shalini · Marcus

Horizon Ventures India. ₹2,500Cr AUM. They've seen 10,000 decks.

Family Office
Vikram · Sunita · Arjit · Kavita

Old money meets new ventures. They want to know if you'll sleep at night.

Regional Fund
Deepak · Swathi · Ravi · Meena

They fund outside Bengaluru and Mumbai. Can your startup?

Family & Friends
Suresh Uncle · Preethi · Ramesh Sharma

The hardest room. They know you. They'll ask what no VC will.

Signature Format

The Wedding Pitch

5 minutes. No deck. The Kapoor family. A plate of gulab jamun. Ramesh Uncle wants to know if you're serious. Sunita Aunty wants to know if you'll call when things go wrong. And after you walk away, you'll hear what they said about you.

After you walk away, the Kapoor family talks about you:

RAMESH: "Yaar, yeh baccha achha lagaa. Confident hai lekin arrogant nahin."

SUNITA: "Mujhe ek cheez pasand aayi. Jab maine puchha ki agar kuch galat ho toh kya karoge — usne sidha bola ki call karega."

ARYAN: "Papa, competitor question pe uska answer was actually solid."

RAMESH: "Haan. Isko bulao kisi din chai pe. Dekhte hain."
