We recently hosted the second edition of A Date with an Investor in Bangalore, this time in collaboration with Ideaspring Capital, a deep-tech-focused fund that provides potential investment cheques ranging from $1 million to $3 million for MVP+ startups.
The event was uniquely curated, where the founders carefully shortlisted startups based on the investor thesis, ensuring a high-quality and impactful engagement.
Unlike traditional investor-founder meetups, this was not a typical pitch session. Instead, it was an interactive dialogue where founders shared insights into what they are building, exchanged thought-provoking questions, and engaged in meaningful discussions.
More than just an investment discussion, the event became a platform for founders to discover business opportunities within each other’s ventures, fostering a collaborative and growth-driven ecosystem.
Key Takeaways from the Event
The session was engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking, featuring:
Founder-led discussions: Each entrepreneur had the chance to share their vision, challenges, and the problems they are solving.
Cross-questioning & idea exchange: Founders engaged in open discussions, challenging each other’s perspectives and refining their business models.
Investor insights: The Ideaspring Capital team elaborated on their investment thesis, clarifying their focus areas and what they look for in potential investments.
