First Close: How to Win Your Early Deals

eChai Ventures, Founder Startup House and HubSpot for Startups are co-hosting First Close: How to Win Your Early Deals, a fireside chat and social evening for founders in Bengaluru. Closing your first few deals is one of the hardest parts of building a startup. You're selling without a track record, without case studies, often without a clear playbook. What you do in those early conversations sets the tone for everything that follows. The fireside chat brings together Adarsh Noronha (Senior Director, Sales, HubSpot India), Manoj Shankar and Sarah Israel (Growth Specialists, HubSpot for Startups) to share what actually works in winning early customers, building a repeatable sales motion, and avoiding the common traps founders fall into in the first 10 deals.
