An honest fundraising review, from someone who sits on the investor's side of the table.
Connecting visionary founders with leading investors is the work. This session is where we figure out if you're actually ready for that conversation — and what to fix before you have it.
You're raising ₹1 Cr+ in the next 3–6 months
You want a straight answer on whether you're investor-ready, not encouragement
You'd rather pay for 45 focused minutes than get 15 rushed free ones
You're pre-idea or pre-product, not yet raising
You're looking for a guaranteed introduction or investment commitment
You're only after a free discovery call
What we'll actually cover in 45 minutes
Investor readiness
Where you'd stand up to diligence today, and where you wouldn't.
Pitch positioning
The story you're telling investors, sharpened to what actually lands.
Valuation logic
Whether your ask holds up against comparable rounds and stage.
Investor targeting
Which investors are actually a fit for your stage and sector, and why.
Kavi Shahani
Thirty years as an entrepreneur — starting with India Connection Impex, an accessories export business he built from scratch in 1994 to ₹35 crore in annual revenue, before shifting fully into venture.
Since then, he's made 20+ angel investments with 5 successful exits, and works as a venture partner across angel funds, VC funds, and theme-focused funds — including the FAAD CAT 1 Angel Fund and W Health Fund II.
This call draws on what he sees from the investor side of the table — the read most founders don't get until it's too late to act on it.
