That’s exactly what went down in the latest edition of A Date with Investors — this time with the amazing team at Pravega Ventures.

We took 5 curated founders straight into the Pravega office for an unstructured, casual, but deeply meaningful conversation about their startup journeys.
No investor panels. No slides. Just founder-first storytelling, sharp questions, and meaningful connections.

Here’s who joined us this time:

🔥 One of the best parts? Two founders discovered instant synergies and are now working together post the session.
That’s what happens when the right people get in the right room.

This is what A Date with Investors is all about — part of The Builders Club initiative to help funded and fund-seeking founders connect with investors on a human, high-context level.

📆 Applications are now open for the May edition.

If you’re building seriously and want access to meaningful investor conversations (not cold emails), this is for you.

We recently wrapped up an exciting edition of A Date with Investors in partnership with JITO JIIF, where handpicked founders got the chance to meet investors—not in a boardroom, but inside the investor’s own office, in a casual, no-pressure setting.

No slides. No scripts. Just real conversations.
Founders spoke about themselves and their vision, while other builders in the room asked sharp, founder-first questions. And guess what? 🤯


Two of them found business synergies on the spot and are now collaborating.

As part of our ongoing initiative at The Builders Club to help startups raise funds and connect with investors on a more personal level, we hosted a unique session that went beyond pitch decks.

This Investor Date was a part of the Fibonacci X 6-month accelerator — designed for startups building for Bharat 🇮🇳 and the broader industrial ecosystem.

We had 5 incredible founders join us:

Rather than a typical pitch session, this was an open floor for real conversations. Founders shared their journey, got cross-questioned by peers, and received honest feedback from fellow builders and investors alike.

Huge shoutout to Fibonacci X and Kulmani Rana for co-hosting this with us — this kind of initiative is exactly what early-stage founders need. 🙌

We’re super excited to help fill your next cohort with more top-tier founders!

Unlike most founder meetups, the Boardroom is built different. It’s intimate, high-trust, and action-driven. This month, we had everything—from deep business insights to some young curious minds tagging along for the experience (yes, even a few kids joined in!).

🔍 We kicked things off with a powerful workshop on creative problem-solving by Grant Received, setting the tone for an intense session of reflection and solutioning.

What followed was our signature Give & Take—a 2-hour open floor where founders shared real problems they’re facing and got brutally honest feedback and actionable support. Meetings were booked, calendars locked, and follow-ups planned right there in the room. That’s the energy we’re building on.

💬 New members told us this didn’t feel like just another startup event. The urgency, the vulnerability, and the depth of connection in just one meeting was something they hadn’t experienced before.

We believe in serendipity by design. If you get the right set of founders in the same room, magic happens—and we saw a lot of that last weekend.

👥 The Boardroom is invite-only—open to funded and growth-stage founders. If that’s you, and you’re looking to scale through genuine network effects and a rock-solid support system, you should be in the room.

🌆 And good news: We’re now launching in Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune!

When we launched The Builders Circle, our vision was simple yet ambitious:
To create a powerful peer-driven network of serious founders who are building for scale.

Over the years at The Builders Club, we’ve seen time and again how transformative it can be when the right people are in the same room. Ideas are exchanged freely, businesses get unblocked, partnerships are formed, and real value is created — not through chance, but by design.

The Builder’s Circle is that design


At its core, The Builders Circle is an offline business network of funded and growth-stage founders, enabled by enterprise leaders, investors, and advisors.

It’s not just a networking platform — it’s a strategic, high-trust community where founders support each other in scaling, fundraising, hiring, and everything in between.

The thesis is clear:

Get the right founders into a room, remove the noise, and magic happens.


Over the past five months, we’ve been quietly testing this concept in Bangalore.

We started with a handful of handpicked founders — and today, we’re proud to say we have:

  • 20+ Active Circle Members
  • 100% Net Promoter Score

When we ask our members why they value this community, the answers are consistent:

  • “The best sounding board I’ve found.”
  • “No fluff. Just serious operators solving real problems.”
  • “Within one session, I had intros to 3 potential clients.”
  • “It feels like a founder’s inner circle — not an event.”

The format is designed to foster depth over noise. Because every member is building seriously, the feedback is richer, intros are warmer, and trust is immediate.

And thanks to our enterprise and investor network, Builders Circle members also get access to:


We’re now opening up Chapter 2 of the Builders Circle in Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune.

We’re not going for volume. We onboard just 2–3 founders per city, per month — and we’re keeping it that way. This is a long-game community built on trust, consistency, and real value.


If you’re a funded or growth-stage founder, and you’re looking for a strategic peer network that delivers long-term dividends on your time and relationships — this is your invite.

📌 Spots are very limited for each city. This is invite-only and designed to be high-signal from day one.

So if you’re serious about scaling and want to surround yourself with people who’ve been there and are building beside you —
👉 now’s the time to get in.


We believe in the power of serendipity — when the right builders meet, everything changes.
