Track startup funding rounds, investors, sectors and fundraising trends across India — updated continuously from public sources.
Every amount is what its source reported, and every round links to the original story. Rounds reported by several outlets are merged into one.
Ten steps from an idea to money in the bank, in the order they actually happen. Open a step for what it has to prove.
Validate the idea
Find ten people with the problem who will talk to you, and one who will pay before you have built anything. Validation is evidence of demand, not agreement that the idea sounds good.
Build an MVP
The smallest thing that lets someone get the outcome they wanted. Scope it to what you can put in front of a user in weeks, not quarters — the point is to learn what you were wrong about.
Get initial traction
Usage that repeats without you pushing it. Retention, revenue and referral are the three that survive scrutiny; downloads, signups and waitlist size do not.
Read guidePrepare your financials
Know your burn, your runway, your unit economics and your cap table to the rupee. You will be asked all four in the first meeting.
Read guideBuild the pitch deck
Ten to twelve slides that make the argument in order: problem, insight, product, evidence, market, plan, team, ask.
Read guideIdentify the right investors
Stage, sector and cheque size have to match before anything else matters. A brilliant pitch to a fund that does not write your cheque is a wasted month.
Read guideStart outreach
Warm introductions convert several times better than cold email. Build the list, find the paths, and run the process in parallel rather than one fund at a time.
Read guideRun due diligence
Diligence is a document exercise you can be ready for months early. Being ready is itself a signal.
Read guideNegotiate the terms
Valuation is the number founders watch and rarely the term that costs them most. Read the preference, the pool and the control rights first.
Read guideClose the round
Signed documents, money received, filings made. In India that includes the Companies Act paperwork and, for a foreign investor, the FEMA reporting — none of which is optional.

Read guideSize a round against the runway it has to buy. All figures in rupees per month unless noted. Nothing you enter leaves this page.
This is an estimate, not financial advice. It rearranges the numbers you entered and assumes nothing about revenue, growth or valuation.
How this is calculated
Required capital = (monthly burn + new spend) × target runway + 20% buffer for the months a round takes to close.
Estimated raise = required capital − current cash.
Track the market, find relevant investors and understand what it takes to raise.
