Launched by Aditya Singh, All In Capital builds a discovery and funding platform for underrepresented and high-potential founders at the earliest stages of company building. According to All In Capital, applicants can submit through a public application process. From there, 15 startups will be shortlisted based on founding team strength, product clarity, and early indicators of market potential. 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. The final selected startups will receive investment and ongoing strategic support. All In Capital has committed a Rs 5 crore investment corpus specifically for startups selected through Elevator Pitch. The firm is also engaging with other investors to expand the initiative's reach and impact. The upcoming edition, scheduled for the end of July in Bengaluru, invites applications from founders currently raising capital at valuations under Rs 50 crore. The application deadline is July 10, 2025. All In Capital is currently deploying its second fund, continuing the momentum of its debut fund, which has backed over 50 startups across sectors such as fintech, SaaS, consumer, AI, healthcare, and deeptech, including Newme, Salty, Magma, and Piersight.
