1. Get a comprehensive business plan and a
sharp pitch deck for your startup
__________________________________________________________
The program helps startups build a strong, scalable, and profitable business around their concepts. The program also
helps founders assess different funding options including bootstrapping, co-investments by family & friends, angel
investors, strategic investors, debt and customer advances.
Only a very, very few startups are successful in getting funding from investors. And often it is not because their
concepts are not powerful but because they fail to design a strong business around those concepts.
Investors want to see a well thought out plan for your business. And how well your pitch deck or intro video
communicates a well-thought-out plan is what can get investor attention. Most startups are unable to clearly and
comprehensively communicate their vision, potential of the concept, business case and it’s implementation plan.
The business builder program helps entrepreneurs think through different aspects of building a business, develop a
practical & scalable plan for their business and communicate their story powerfully and comprehensively.

Model of engagement
• Program fee and/or equity to be mutually agreed based on level of engagement and duration
• The program involves weekly meetings, beginning with 2 half-day brain storming sessions.
• The primary goal will be to see how the business can be boot-strapped so that funding is sought only if required,
and for growth.
• All ventures are not fundable, and even if they are, investors may have reasons to not invest in them. Hence,
funding is not guaranteed in the program.
• The end goal is to help you create a plan for building a strong, scalable business. In some cases, the detailed plan
may indicate that the venture is not financially viable or meaningful to pursue. That too is a useful outcome, rather
than the team investing time in-market to work on a model that is unlikely to work.
