Different Turf, Same Game!

Draper Startup House has partnered with eChai Ventures for an amazing event at the incredible Draper University campus in San Mateo, #California.

The event drew a diverse audience of over 45 attendees from 20 different countries, featuring a dynamic conversation between investors and founders, providing invaluable insights into the intricacies of fundraising.

Our fantastic panel included:
- Abhishek Kaushik, WeCP, Co-Founder of WeCP | We Create Problems
- Abhinav Das, Co-Founder of Orangewood Labs
- Ankit Kedia, Founder of Capital-A (Manjushree Capital Advisors)

Closing the event with a networking session, the audience engaged in meaningful conversations with a diverse array of startups and founders.

Events such as this play a crucial role in fostering connections, knowledge exchange and collaborative growth across international boundaries, empowering entrepreneurs to drive their ventures forward.

This event wouldn't have been possible without the support of Karan Bahadur and Jatin Chaudhary. Special thanks to Waleed Arshad and Mohammad Mustafa Hassan for their encouragement and support throughout the event.

Here's to many more successful collaborations and impactful events!
