Startup India Hub is a one-stop platform for all stakeholders in the Startup ecosystem to interact with each other, exchange knowledge, and form successful partnerships in a highly dynamic environment.
Investors, particularly venture capitalists (VCs), add value to startups in a lot of ways:
1. Stakeholder Management: Investors manage the company board and leadership to facilitate smooth operations of the startup. In addition, their functional experience and domain knowledge of working and investing with startups impart vision and direction to the company.
2. Raising Funds: Investors are the best guides for the startup to raise subsequent rounds of funding on the basis of stage, maturity, sector focus, etc. and aid in networking and connection for the founders to pitch their business to other investors.
3. Recruiting Talent: Sourcing high-quality and best-fit human capital is critical for startups, especially when it comes to recruiting senior executives to manage and drive business goals. VCs, with their extensive network, can help bridge the talent gap by recruiting the right set of people at the right time.
4. Marketing: VCs assist with marketing strategy for your product/service.
5. M and A Activity: VCs have their eyes and ears open to merger and acquisition opportunities in the local entrepreneurial ecosystem to enable greater value addition to the business through inorganic growth.
6. Organisational Restructuring: As a young startup matures into an established company, VCs help with the right organisational structuring and introduce processes to increase capital efficiency, lower costs, and scale efficiently.
Investing in startups is a risky proposition, but the low requirement for overhead capital combined with high upside potential makes it lucrative for investors to put their bets on startups.
The Thomson Reuters Venture Capital Research Index replicated the performance of the venture capital industry in 2012 and found that overall venture capital has returned at an annual rate of 20% since 1996—far outperforming modest returns of 7.5% and 5.9% from public equities and bonds, respectively.

As a mentor, you have access to all registered startups across all stages on the Hub. The startups may connect with you through a connection request, post which you can provide your expert advice to the startup on its next steps. To know more, kindly go to the Mentor’s Section.
A startup is allowed to send 3 connection requests each week. This is done by simply clicking on the “connect” button on the mentor’s profile. Once you accept a connection request, the startup can reach out to you through a simple chat interface. You can learn more about the Startup that has connected with you by clicking on their profile and reading up about them.
While we encourage more engagement on the platform, we can understand that access to high-quality mentor investors like yourself can be overwhelming for some Startups, which may lead to spam. To ensure Startups are conservative and careful with the mentor/investor requests, we restrict each Startup to 3 connection requests each week.
To aid in your mentoring journey, we have pooled together a vast repository of resources ranging from plug-and-play templates to market research reports, which can help both mentors and Startups gauge the opportunity at their disposal better. Feel free to navigate through our repository of resources on the top ribbon of the portal.
To showcase our gratitude towards our mentor’s contribution to India’s startup ecosystem, depending on the quarterly feedback from our Startups, we share commendation letters. Feel free to flaunt these across your social platforms, and don’t forget to tag us!

1. Market Landscape: Refers to the addressable market that the startup is catering to.
ফেক্টরশিং: Market size, obtainable market share, adoption rate, historical and forecasted growth rates, macroeconomic drivers, demand-supply.
2. Scalability and Sustainability : Startups should showcase the potential upscale in the near future, a sustainable and stable business plan.
ফেক্টরশিং: এন্ট্রি, ইমিটেসনগী অচংবা শেনফমশিং, গ্রোথ রেট, এক্সপান্সন প্লানশিংদা লৈরিবা অপন-অরাকশিং.
3. Objective and Problem-Solving : The offering of the startup should be differentiated to solve a unique customer problem or to meet customer needs. Ideas or products that are patented showcase deemed potential in the startups.
4. Customers and Suppliers: Laying out your customers and suppliers, helps investors understand your business better.
ফেক্টরশিং: কষ্টমর রিলেসনশিপশিং, প্রদক্টতা ষ্টিকিনেস ওইবা, ভেন্দর টর্মশিং, হৌজিক লৈরিবা ভেন্দরশিং.
5. Competitive Analysis: A true picture of competition and other players in the market working on similar things should be highlighted. There can never be an apple-to-apple comparison, but highlighting the service or product offerings of similar players in the industry is important.
ফেক্টরশিং: মার্কেটতা লৈরিবা প্লেয়রশিংগী মশিং, মার্কেটকী শেয়র, মতম খরা লৈরগা ফংবা য়াবা শেয়র, কম্পিটিটর ওফরিংশিংগী মরক্তা লৈরিবা মান্নবশিং নৎত্রগা খেৎনবশিং হায়লাইট তৌনবগী প্রদক্ট মেপ্পিং.
6. Sales and Marketing: No matter how good your product or service may be, if it does not find any end use, there is no good.
ফেক্টরশিং: Sales forecast, targeted audiences, marketing plan for the target, conversion and retention ratio, etc.
7. Financial Assessment: A detailed business model that showcases the cash inflows over the years, investments required, key milestones, break-even points, and growth rates should be made out well. Assumptions used at this stage should also be reasonable and clearly mentioned.
See sample valuation template here.(to be sourced under templates section)
8. Exit Avenues: A startup showcasing potential future acquirers or alliance partners becomes a valuable decision parameter for the investor.
9. Management and Team: The execution and passion of the founder and the management team to drive the company is equally crucial in addition to all the factors mentioned above.
Investors realise their return on investment from startups through various means of exit. Ideally, the VC firm and the entrepreneur should discuss the various exit options at the beginning of investment negotiations. A well-performing, high-growth startup that also has excellent management and organisational processes is more likely to be exit-ready earlier than other startups.

1. Mergers and Acquisitions: The investor may decide to sell the portfolio company to another company in the market. For example, the $140 million acquisition of RedBus by South African Internet and media giant Naspers and its integration with its India arm, Ibibo Group, presented an exit option for its investors, Seedfund, Inventus Capital Partners, and Helion Venture Partners.
2. IPO: An initial public offering is the first time that the stock of a private company is offered to the public. Issued by private companies seeking capital to expand, it is one of the preferred options for investors looking to exit a startup organisation.
3. Exit to Financial Investors: Investors may sell their investment to other venture capital or private equity firms.
4. Distressed Sale: Under financially stressed times for a startup company, the investors may decide to sell the business to another company or a financial institution.
5. Buybacks: Founders of the startup may also buy back their investment from the fund.

1. Value: Startup valuations are the total worth of the company as estimated by a professional valuer. There are various means of valuing a startup company, like the Cost to Duplicate approach, the Market Multiple approach, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, and the valuation-by-stage approach. Investors choose the relevant approach based on the stage of the investment and the market maturity of the startup.
2. Investment Structure: It defines the mode of venture capital investment in the startup, whether it is through equity, debt, or a combination of both.
3. Management Structure: The term sheet details the management structure of the company, including the composition of the board of directors and prescribed appointment and removal procedures.
4. Changes to share capital: All investors in startups have their own investment timelines, and they accordingly seek flexibility in seeking exit options through subsequent rounds of funding. The term sheet addresses the stakeholders’ rights and obligations with respect to subsequent changes in the company’s share capital.
