A Date With An Investor X She Capital | Delhi Edition

Powering Inclusive Entrepreneurship, One Conversation at a Time

We recently hosted the second edition of “A Date With An Investor” in Delhi, this time in collaboration with the phenomenal team at She Capital — a fund known not just for backing women-led businesses, but for actively championing inclusive entrepreneurship across India.

She Capital’s portfolio includes trailblazing brands like Samosa Singh, Clovia, and Leap Club — each of them having created ripple effects far beyond revenue, by empowering women throughout their ecosystems.

💬 A Room Full of Candid Conversations

For this intimate, closed-door mixer, we handpicked five dynamic women founders — including two joining virtually from Mumbai and Bangalore. These founders are building across diverse sectors and stages, and they brought to the table real challenges and real wins:

  • Navigating GTM pivots
  • Addressing scaling bottlenecks
  • Managing early traction and product-market fit

What unfolded was a high-trust exchange of stories, sharp investor feedback, and peer-driven insights that founders could apply immediately to their journeys.

🌟 Standout Moment: Polish Me Pretty

One of the most impactful discussions came from the founder of Polish Me Pretty, who shared a razor-sharp perspective on the quick commerce (Q-commerce) space. Her depth of insight sparked fresh thinking across the room and opened up new angles for everyone present.

🤝 Why These Conversations Matter

This wasn’t a pitch night. It was a space for authentic dialogue, strategic exploration, and a sense of community that’s too often missing from the founder-investor equation — especially for women.

Events like “A Date With An Investor” are intentionally designed to spark:

  • Clarity over capital
  • Confidence over competition
  • Community over comparison

❤️ A Note of Thanks

We’re deeply grateful to the She Capital team for aligning with our mission and making this session truly meaningful. Your time, feedback, and belief added depth to the conversation and inspired everyone in the room.


🚀 What’s Next?

We’re excited to keep creating more founder-first spaces — especially for women entrepreneurs — where stories are heard, strategies are sharpened, and solidarity is built.

If you’re a woman founder or investor who wants to be part of this movement, reach out — we’re just getting started.

On Friday, May 30, something different is happening in Bangalore.

In a world full of pitch nights and panel talks, The Builders Club, in collaboration with Ionic Wealth, is flipping the script — hosting a private CXO House Party designed for real connection over curated conversations.

This isn’t a networking event with name tags and icebreakers.
It’s an invite-only evening where B2C founders, CXOs, and investors come together to unwind, share ideas, and build high-trust relationships — all over great music, drinks, and a uniquely relaxed setting.


🍷 Who’s in the Room?

The guest list includes senior leaders and CXOs from:

Swiggy, Reebok, Happilo, Increff, Limechat, Playo, Rakuten, Go Desi, Tally, AlmaMater, HealthFab, ITC, Reliance Consumer, Exponent Energy, and more.

This gathering is strictly limited in size to keep the quality of conversations high and the energy intentional. Only 10 founder slots remain, and they’re filling fast.


🔒 Why It Matters

This kind of room doesn’t happen every week.

It’s not about pitching your product or prepping a slide deck — it’s about showing up as people first, founders second, and leaving with relationships that move the needle far beyond one evening.

If you’re building in B2C and you know the value of proximity to the right people — this is the room you want to be in.

A Date With An Investor: A Night of Real Conversations with Arali Ventures

A Date With An Investor: A Night of Real Conversations with Arali Ventures

, ,

Last week in Bangalore, we hosted the fifth edition of “A Date With An Investor”, this time in collaboration with the incredible team at Arali Ventures. What unfolded was far more than a pitch session—it was a high-impact, insight-packed evening that brought founders and investors together in a truly meaningful way.

In a closed-door, curated format, 8 handpicked founders had the rare opportunity to pitch their startups—not just to investors, but to each other. Each pitch was followed by an interactive Q&A session, where founders received honest, real-time feedback on everything from go-to-market strategies to product positioning.

The energy in the room? Electric.

What made the event stand out was not just the exchange of ideas, but the depth of the conversations. A few soft introductions to potential clients and advisors were made right on the spot—because that’s what happens when the right people are in the right room.

For Arali Ventures, it was an efficient and focused way to meet founders who aligned with their thesis—startups solving real problems with real traction. And for the founders, it was a rare opportunity to sharpen their narrative, pressure-test their pitch, and walk away with tangible insights they could apply immediately.

💡 “A Date With An Investor” is more than just a pitch event. It’s a founder-investor roundtable built for feedback, not just funding. It’s about building relationships, not just decks. And it’s helping early-stage startups grow stronger, faster, and more focused.

A huge shoutout to the Arali Ventures team for partnering with us and creating an environment where real conversations could happen.

We’re already gearing up for the next one.
If you’re a growth-stage founder or an early-stage investor who believes in building with clarity and community—you’re who we’re building for.

👉 Stay tuned. More such dates coming soon.
