It's very Nice Idea and I don't want to point out mistakes, or missing things but it needs some changes such as in person meeting and pitching by entrepreneurs at a particular space and time recurring in nature so that both the donator and the entrepreneur can interact if they want to know the willingness of the founder, 2nd thing is that, in return to the donator, we must have something to ask for it voluntarily to take it or not such as equity of the company, bonds, etc... my main motive for this is to help you to enhance your idea...
Thank you so much, Atul ji, for your valuable feedback. The suggestions you shared — like in-person pitching and direct interaction between donors and entrepreneurs — will definitely make the model more transparent and practical. The idea of offering something in return, like equity or bonds, also makes a lot of sense and adds trust and incentive for the donor. I will definitely work on these points to strengthen the concept further. Your support and guidance mean a lot. Thank you!
All the best 👍
Crowdfunding from 50,000 people every month is ambitious and managing such a large community requires strong trust systems. Weekly awards might lead to rushed or underdeveloped pitches. Without proven accountability for how funds are used post-award, it could lose credibility fast
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback, Sreekar. You’ve made a great point — limiting it to only startups might affect the scalability. Opening it up to other niches can definitely make it more versatile, similar to Kickstarter. Regarding the tipping culture, I agree that it's still growing in India. But with the rise of creators and community-driven platforms, even small contributions can become more common over time. Really appreciate your honest and thoughtful insights!
So it's basically a build in public platform but with crowdfunding feature I guess it won't scale if you restrict yourself to startups only but if you allow other niches it becomes kickstarter This thing would work great in foreign due to their tipping culture but in India why would anyone give even 50rs for such things
Thank you so much, Chamarti ji, for your valuable feedback. You’ve raised a very valid concern—trust and transparency are absolutely essential in such a large-scale crowdfunding model. That’s why, at BetaDream: Every entrepreneur will be required to submit weekly progress reports, along with photo/video proof and receipts of how the funds are being used. All usage details and evidence will be shared on a public dashboard so the community can track every rupee. There will also be a reporting system in place where community members can flag misuse or suspicious activity. We're also building a Transparency Dashboard where anyone can see: How much each group contributed, Who received the funds, And exactly how the funds were used. BetaDream is not just about distributing money—it’s about building a responsible, empowering startup ecosystem.

What's the benefit to the one giving 50rs per month so that they keep coming back?
Only benifit is if I'm a aspiring entrepreneur , that too I have to wait for a year. Other than that without any other benefits there will be very less contributors or so many people to be provided with that benifit which is hard
That's a very valid question, Rishi. Our model is based on a "community-powered micro-funding" system where 50,000 members contribute ₹50/month. Every week, one deserving entrepreneur is selected to receive ₹5 lakh to start their business. The remaining ₹5 lakh is used for platform operations and future upgrades. But the benefit isn’t just the funding — every member becomes part of a network that offers mentorship, startup education, and essential tools to grow their business. We’re also introducing a loyalty-based model where: After 12 months of active membership, your name is automatically added to the eligibility list. Priority is given based on your referral points, participation, and engagement. This way, people don’t just contribute — they become part of a trusted startup ecosystem. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
How will you get these many people to contribute regularly? & what they get in return?
Sounds great plan to help new generation. Not sure about acceptability but still, DM me if you need help in starting this.
Great question! Here's how we plan to make it work: 1. Clear Purpose – Every month, ₹5 lakh is given to one entrepreneur to start their business. People contribute knowing they’re part of real impact. 2. Transparency – All fund usage and selections will be publicly visible, building trust. 3. Weekly Rewards – Every week, one member is randomly selected to receive ₹5 lakh. 4. Referral Program – Users can invite others and earn special rewards for every successful referral. 5. Community Perks – Members get access to exclusive events, startup mentorship, and a supportive network. 6. Low Cost, Big Impact – ₹50/month is a small amount, but it helps create life-changing opportunities. BetaDream is more than a platform—it’s a movement for change.
