What types of investors do you think this will suit the most? Lots of investors don't like cold pitches, many prefer warm intros and with a bit of hustle I believe that most people are not out of reach. What is the main problem being solved with this? Is it exposure to investors? What are some of the success stories that have pitched and been funded thr… See more

@bentossell Thank you for the questions and concerns Ben. It is best suited for investors in the seed/angel space from around the world. I have been very actively involved in the Indian Startup ecosystem by virtue of being the National Lead for "Headstart Network Foundation". Over the last 3.5 years after having interacted with 1000+ entrepreneurs directly… See more

@bentossell Phew I wrote an article almost for you questions :D Remember our Twitter chat? How are we different: Well you can compare with us any product/platform and when it comes to empowering entrepreneurs and allowing them to pitch directly, there isn't any.

@nitprashant haha love a detailed answer! I'd be keen to see a few angel/seed investors jump in on their thoughts around this :) The only thing that stood out to me in your answer was putting startups in front of the right types of investors straight away (like travel).

@rohitsethi Thank you asking it Rohit. It is definitely not the Angel List type of syndicate fund participants. I didn't completely get the first part, will you mind elaborating? I can go along and answer after that :)

@nitprashant In your answer above you mentioned " and they loved our value proposition of on boarding people from Google, Facebook, Twitter, Uber, Pinterest and others". What purpose do these on-boarded people serve on your platform , as founders or investors ?

@rohitsethi Sorry for the delay in responding Rohit. We are at IST and when your question came in, we were deep asleep after a fabulous hunting on PH. They serve the purpose of an investor. Lets suppose I come to you and you are an Engineering Manager at Facebook, what I will tell you is this: " You don't necessarily have to be an investor and you don't nec… See more
