Eligibility

Built for funded
founders on a treadmill.

You've raised your first or second round. You're on the clock. You need more customers, more visibility, and your next investors — all at once. That's what this programme is built for.

You're a fit if…

  • You've raised at least one round — angel, seed, pre-seed, or government grants
  • You're a B2B company (Healthcare, IT/ITES, Fintech, GCC, or Digital Native platforms)
  • You're looking to accelerate growth and raise your next round
  • You want structured sales access to enterprise CXOs and SME buyers
  • You want investor visibility throughout the programme, not just at Demo Day
  • You're willing to pitch, share, and give back within the cohort

This isn't for you if…

  • You haven't raised any external funding or grants
  • You're a consumer-only startup with no B2B motion
  • You're pre-product with no traction
  • You're not committed to weekly Saturday sessions for 12 weeks
  • You're unwilling to pitch in front of investors and enterprise buyers
  • You expect passive, hands-off support
What You Get

More capital.
Three ways.

Builders Capital helps you get more capital — in the form of funding, in the form of sales, and in the form of visibility that compounds both.

01 / FUNDING

Investor Access & Visibility

Monthly milestone newsletters go to all investment partners. You pitch to investors in structured sessions. Demo Day puts you in front of the full jury.

  • Monthly milestone achievement newsletter to all investors
  • Investor pitch sessions with scoring and meeting requests
  • Virtual Pitch Day with international investors
  • Demo Day pitch to full investor + CXO jury
02 / BUSINESS

Business Traction

Get your product in front of CXOs from the industry through structured business pitch sessions. Each session is tailored to a specific domain — you get matched accordingly. Build real pipeline, not cold outbound.

  • Business pitch sessions with CXOs from the industry
  • 3 domain-specific sessions per round — 5–6 businesses pitch per session
  • Monthly peer review sessions for warm connections and intros
  • Monthly polls to surface your connection requirements
03 / BRANDING

Social & Media Visibility

Get featured through our media partners — LinkedIn and Instagram influencers who cover your story, and podcast hosts who bring your narrative to a wider audience.

  • Media partner coverage: LinkedIn and Instagram pages
  • Influencers who feature your story in reels and posts
  • Podcast appearances with established hosts
  • Articles and features on TBC platforms
  • Personal branding workshops with weekly assignments
12-Week Schedule

Every Saturday.
One session.
Maximum impact.

One structured session every Saturday for 12 weeks. Three types of sessions rotate through the programme — each designed to move the needle on funding, business traction, and visibility.

Investor Sessions

Investor Pitch Sessions

Each startup pitches in front of its relevant investors — matched by domain and stage. Investors score each pitch and flag interest for follow-up conversations. Monthly milestone reports keep them updated between sessions.

Once a month
Business Sessions

Business Pitch Sessions & Peer Give & Take

Business pitch sessions put each startup in front of its relevant CXO target audience — domain-matched, 5–6 businesses per session. Peer Give & Take sessions drive connections, intros, and accountability across the cohort.

Once a month
Workshops & AMAs

AI, Personal Branding & AMAs

Hands-on workshops on AI tools for B2B founders and personal branding — combined in one session. Community AMAs feature Series B+ founders sharing real fundraising stories and GTM lessons.

The Ecosystem

Three partner layers.
One outcome.

Every session in the programme is powered by three partner groups who are invested in your success — literally and strategically.

Layer 01

Investment Partners

50+ active investors who receive your monthly milestone newsletters, attend pitch sessions, score your progress, and make funding decisions at Demo Day. They are watching you build from Week 1.

Layer 02

CXO & SME Jury Members

Enterprise and SME CXOs from across industries — Healthcare, IT/ITES, Fintech, GCC, and more. They evaluate your product, serve as the jury for industry fitment at The Great Indian B2B Summit, and give you actionable feedback. They may also become your customers.

Layer 03

Media Partners

LinkedIn and Instagram influencer pages, podcast hosts, and content creators who feature your founder story, cover your journey, and amplify your visibility to an audience of thousands throughout the programme.

Week 12 · Offline

The Great Indian
B2B Summit.

Post-Cohort · Exclusive Access

After the cohort.
The network stays.

The programme ends at Week 12. The access doesn't. Every Builders Capital alumni gets two things that keep compounding long after Demo Day.

🇺🇸 US Delegation · Nov / Dec

Post-cohort, founders get exclusive access to a curated US delegation — meetings with investors, enterprise buyers, and ecosystem partners in Silicon Valley and New York. Organised in partnership with TBC's global network.

TBC CXO Slack Community

Lifetime access to The Builders Club's private Slack group — a curated community of select CXOs, operators, and fellow founders. Warm intros, deal flow, and honest conversations that continue well beyond the programme.

FAQ

Everything you
need to know.

The total cohort fee is $999 per startup. You apply with a $99 non-refundable application fee, and the $900 balance is due upfront on selection. In addition, Builders Capital charges a 5% success fee on any funding raised through the programme — payable only on close. TBC becomes your exclusive investment partner for the duration of the cohort, formalised through a separate MOU signed at onboarding.

No — the $99 is non-refundable under all circumstances. If you are not selected, you are not charged anything further. If selected, the $900 balance is due upfront before the programme starts.

Builders Capital charges a 5% success fee on any funding you close through the programme's investor network — payable only when the round is completed. This ensures full alignment: TBC will leave no stone unturned to get you funded, because we only earn meaningfully when you raise. The terms are formalised in the MOU signed at onboarding.

Builders Capital is for B2B founders who have raised at least one round — angel, seed, pre-seed, or government grants. You should be a B2B company in Healthcare, IT/ITES, Fintech, GCC, or Digital Native platforms. You need to be ready to pitch, engage, and commit to 12 Saturday sessions. Each cohort is limited to 15 startups, selected alongside our investment partners and CXO jury.

The programme is virtual for 11 weeks — one session every Saturday, delivered online. Week 12 (Demo Day) is offline — The Great Indian B2B Summit is an in-person event where all founders pitch live in front of jury members, investors, and CXOs.

There is no unconditional guarantee of funding — and any programme that claims otherwise should be approached with scepticism. What we commit to is this: for 6 months from the start of your cohort, TBC becomes your exclusive investment partner. During this period, we actively connect you with as many relevant investors as possible, distribute your milestone updates, and give you maximum visibility. We also take inputs from you — if there are specific investors you want to reach, we invite them to Demo Day and add them to the milestone newsletters. Our goal is to give you more traction and more investor interest than you had when you started. The selection process itself is designed to filter for fundable companies, which means being selected carries real signal.

Post-cohort, founders get two things: access to the US Delegation (Nov/Dec) — a curated visit to Silicon Valley and New York for investor and buyer meetings — and lifetime access to TBC's private CXO Slack community, a curated group of operators, CXOs, and fellow founders for ongoing warm intros and deal flow.

Every cohort startup receives $10,000 in AI credits from our technology partners. These cover tools for outbound automation, CRM intelligence, content generation, sales enablement, and more — the same tools covered in the Week 7 AI workshop. The credits are activated at onboarding and can be used throughout the programme and beyond.
