Why IIT/IIM Founders Get Funded Easily—and How You Can Too Without That Background! It’s true, founders from IIT/IIM often get funding faster due to their networks and perceived credibility. But you don’t need a fancy degree to succeed. Here’s how you can get funded without it: 1️⃣ Show Traction: Investors love proof.

Remember, investors fund potential, not degrees! What’s your take? Does degree really matter? #startupfunding #entrepreneurs #founderlife #fundraising #startups #IIT #IIM
