Our resident entrepreneurs got to pitch their hearts out, and the feedback they received was pure gold. The energy was unreal!
But it wasnāt just about funding. What made this week extra special were the amazing backstories these VCs sharedāfrom an Airforce veteran turned VC, to a DJ turned VC, to a super young college grad already making waves in the venture world. These stories were pure inspiration, especially for anyone thinking about starting their journey in VC.
We also hosted two panel events with these incredible VCs, attracting nearly 200+ attendees! It was a blast and a huge success for our community.
"eChai isnāt just a startup community ā¦ itās a mindset .Ā eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. Itās been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. Iāve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here ā people who genuinely want to see you succeed.Ā Itās a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. Iāll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders donāt just grow businesses ā they grow together."

"If thereās one phrase that sums up my journey, itās truly āThe eChai Effect.ā Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey startedāand keeps evolvingābecause of eChai. Redicine Medsolās story is integrally linked to this community. Iāve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
