- @livemint you missed @firstcheque! @kushalbhagia did 43 seed deals in 2020 and are on track of doing a deal a week this year!!! This makes FC the top pre-seed/angel fund of India. #investing #startup #India
- Finally a book by an Indian Entrepreneur that I can recommend to every Indian dreaming of building. I nudged @hsgrover to share his journey and what a remarkable book he has written! Read this today to deal with all the situations you will face when building your dream.
- A lot of the angel investments I did were purely because I wanted to learn about the sector. Having skin in the game ensures I invest enough time learning along the founders. I invest with @firstcheque/@kushalbhagia. DM if you are building a 🚀 and need your first fuel packAngel investing is the new MBA.
- Super fun meeting @eazypgofficial team today! Keep an eye on them. They are onto something huge! 🚀 @firstcheque @kushalbhagia @Goyal4Gagan
- At @GoFynd, every last Friday of the month we have our State of the Firm. The team shares the month's win, learnings & what they are working on. I also recommend books for the team. This month the books are: A Promised Land by @BarackObama and Let's Build A Company by @hsgrover

Tip to all founders raising: Practise your story and keep polishing it. #founders #startupsThe difference between Uber being valuer at $6 billion (pre-IPO) vs $53 billion, hinged only on one aspect: Storytelling. Here's a breakdown on the importance of brand building, and narrating compelling stories when you're a startup 🔥👌🏻

GIF- I don’t know when/how pre-seed became a thing! Now that is, checkout @firstcheque - best pre-seed fund in India. Run by founder’s favourite @kushalbhagiaHalf a million dollars. 2008: it took CoCubes 2 years to raise a 'Series A' round of half a million dollars. 2021: a college start-up round I led as an angel closed half a million dollars in 'pre-seed' in 2 weeks. Times have changed. Rounds have changed.
