Harsh truth :)

Bro, you should have atleast something to present (traction, pre revenue, a basic mvp)

Please I request Indian VCs to help.Please give a chance to new founders and not only proven ones. Thank you

reality check 🥲

🤧

Indian's seriously need to learn to say No.. it helps the founders move ahead. I don't understand why they ghost us.

That's why I love Byjus! he fckud all VCs.

Indian VCs don't invest in ideas, they invest in trends. If you're not doing SaaS, AI, or Fintech, good luck even getting a no email.

Go for early stage vcs

ideation stage is really hard to pitch , try with a prototype or just don't pitch indian VC

why indian VC's not showing interest on our startups i can't understand why??

Maybe because 99% of "ideation stage" pitches are half-baked dreams with zero market research? VCs aren't charities - they need to see execution capability before writing checks.

bro first option is government grants they help you a lot then build a mvp gain some traction and then go to a vc so you don't need to give to much equity

Ideation funding exists.. but mostly through angel networks or micro-VCs. Expecting Sequoia to reply to a deck with no MVP is just naive.

To be fair, why would any VC invest in just an idea? Execution matters more than vision. Show skin in the game first.

This is so true. Indian VCs only want to fund the 50th food delivery app with "proven traction" instead of backing actual innovation. Risk-averse mentality is killing our startup ecosystem.

real harsh truth

Post your idea here & allow people to tell how useful or shite the idea is. Most likely it will be shite as most ideas are.

agreed

It's true VCs here are more risk-averse, but part of that is because there’ve been way too many pitch decks with zero depth. The bar is higher now, especially with AI in the scene
