All In Capital, a pre-seed and seed-stage venture capital firm focused on backing non-obvious founders at the earliest stages, has announced the launch of its Golden Ticket program, a new initiative aimed at supporting early-stage Indian founders building AI-led and vertical SaaS companies. Under the Golden Ticket program, All In Capital plans to select 20–30 startups through a competitive evaluation process. Selected teams will be eligible for pre-seed funding of up to $300K per company, with total capital deployment of up to $1 million. The program will culminate in a demo day, where participating startups will present to a curated group of investors from the Silicon Valley ecosystem. According to All In Capital, the initiative is open to fresh graduates and early-career founders, with a requirement that each team include at least one technical co-founder with expertise in software engineering, AI/ML, or a relevant domain. The program is focused on companies building AI solutions for defined industry segments such as healthcare, professional services, and other specialised markets. As part of the program structure, selected founders will be expected to spend 6–12 months in Silicon Valley, working closely with customers, mentors, and partners to iterate on their products and business models. Support will include access to the US startup ecosystem, investor networks, and enterprise customers, along with travel assistance. Co-founded by Aditya Singh and Kushal Bhagia, All In Capital invests in founders at the idea and early product stage, with an emphasis on speed, founder alignment, and hands-on support. The firm follows a high-conviction, high-volume model and works closely with founding teams on early customer discovery, product-market fit, and go-to-market strategy, particularly across AI, deep tech, and B2B software.

Selected startups will receive professional support to produce a one-minute pitch video, which will be evaluated by its team and presented during the live event.

US-based early-stage venture capital firm Expert DOJO has launched an India-dedicated startup cohort. As part of this accelerator program, the firm will invest $100,000 each in over 10 startups across sectors such as technology, AI, EV, B2B and more. According to Expert DOJO, the startups will not only receive capital but also get mentorship, growth support, and access to its global investor network. Applications for the cohort are now open for startups. This cohort is designed to help early-stage startups strengthen their business models, enter new markets, and move quickly toward raising their next funding round. The aim of this cohort is to support Indian founders facing challenges like limited access to global capital, lack of international mentorship, and restricted market reach. This launch follows Expert Dojo’s earlier announcement of a $15 million India-focused fund, with plans to deploy in 20–25 early-stage startups by FY26. While the fund is sector-agnostic, it will focus on high-potential areas like fintech, SaaS, B2B, and AI, helping founders scale beyond borders. With its latest upcoming cohort, Expert DOJO remains committed to helping startups with not just capital, but a structured path to global growth. By combining deep founder support with an active investor network and global market access, they continue to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of impactful, venture-backable companies.
