🚀 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! 💼💡

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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
