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.

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
