Agenda:


This is part of The Startup Code, an open accelerator program by eChai Ventures and LegalWiz.in, designed for early-stage founders and aspiring entrepreneurs.

While bootstrapping can be a great way to grow your startup, understanding the ins and outs of fundraising is crucial for those considering external capital. This AMA (Ask Me Anything) session brings together venture capitalists and angel investors who have supported successful startups.


This is your chance to ask questions and learn directly from the experts about what it takes to secure funding. Whether you're exploring your options or preparing for your first funding round, this session will provide you with valuable insights into the fundraising process.


Join us to gain a deeper understanding of fundraising, and connect with other founders who are exploring their paths to growth.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."
Mehul Shah - Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth

โ€œI have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, Iโ€™ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - Iโ€™ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. Itโ€™s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldnโ€™t have been possible without eChai.โ€

โ€œYou donโ€™t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up โ€ฆ and one day, you realize you did.โ€ Iโ€™ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, weโ€™ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts โ€” our venture builder โ€” eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isnโ€™t just a startup network. Itโ€™s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
