Happened on May 08, Thursday, 2025
6:00pm — 08:00pm (GMT+05:30)
Provyz Coworking Vesu
40 slots booked.
Agenda:

Join us for an evening of insights, stories, and real fundraising playbooks.


eChai and Provyz are hosting GVFL, one of India’s pioneering venture capital firms, for a candid mixer-style event. The GVFL core team will share how they evaluate early-stage startups and support them post-investment.


You'll also hear from GVFL’s Surat-based portfolio founders — Growit, Evify, VideoSDK, Zero Cow Factory, and Zoivane — as they reflect on their fundraising journey, what clicked, and what they wish they knew earlier.


This is a great opportunity for founders who are exploring venture capital and want to learn directly from investors and funded founders.


Let’s decode fundraising together with real stories and real conversations.

"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."
