πŸš€ Hey everyone! Tony here, the founder and CEO of Local Mama, a reward-based search engine app connecting local users with businesses. We're all about rewarding users for engaging with businesses, while providing valuable leads and promotion opportunities for business owners. With over 15k users and 500+ paying businesses onboard, we're ready to scale up!

I've made the journey from a tier 3 city to Bengaluru to pitch Local Mama for pre-seed funding. It's an exciting step, but I'm a bit of a newbie in this big city and could really use some mentorship and guidance to navigate the funding landscape.

If you're interested in mentoring or helping out with funding, shoot me a message at [email protected]. Let's connect and make Local Mama the next big thing together! πŸ’ΌπŸ’‘

Signing up on our website is completely free! If you encounter any issues with profile or notice something unusual, please don't hesitate to report it to us. We're here to help ensure a smooth and secure experience.

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
