PedalStart concludes multi-city event series ‘Founder-Investor Fusion’ Startup accelerator PedalStart has concluded its flagship multi-city offline event series, ‘Founder-Investor Fusion’. The invite-only event brought together over 350 participants across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Gurugram, and witnessed the presence of over 220 angel investors and High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs). More than 90 new and emerging startups at various stages of growth obtained learning and networking opportunities through the event series, while soft commitments to the tune of Rs 6 crore were made to six startups who actively pitched. Launched in March this year, ‘Founder-Investor Fusion’ aims to empower early-stage start-ups (POC to early revenue stages), while simultaneously giving select investors the opportunity to invest in some of the most promising start-ups across the country. The event witnessed strong engagement while providing a powerful platform for carefully selected startups, six of whom pitched for raising up rounds. Ventures such as Flowwat, InsightAI, Shoegr, Bull Agritech, Iztri, and Oopar Club took the centre stage to pitch their innovations and growth plans. According to PedalStart, the key objective and driving force behind the series was to bridge the gap between promising early-stage startups and the strategic capital, mentorship, and ecosystem access they need to thrive. The Founder-Investor Fusion series began in Bengaluru in March 2025, with over 60 participants, including founders from PedalStart’s portfolio, followed by the next two chapters in Hyderabad and Mumbai, which saw a collective participation of over 150 angels and startup founders. The final chapter of the event, held recently at DLF Cyber Park, Gurugram, witnessed the attendance of over 20 promising startup founders and more than 100 investors. “From live pitches to strategic networking, the Fusion events offered immense value to founders and investors alike, and we are extremely proud to have received overwhelming support and active participation from the startup community across the country,” said Manas Pal and Aditya Darolia, co-founders of PedalStart. PedalStart is a startup accelerator dedicated to empowering early-stage founders with hands-on guidance, execution support, and strategic growth. Each year, through a three-month filtration process, it selects 15–18 high-potential startups for active investment and mentorship. The accelerator helps startups scale, expand market presence, and build strong foundations for long-term success.
