The BIGGEST Mistake Founders Make After Funding Ft. Rajiv Srivatsa & Nitin Sharma, Antler India

A recent article states, “About 60% of companies that reach pre-series A funding fail to make it to Series A, so the success rate is only 30%-40%.”If you check on Crunchbase, in India you’ll find 4300+ startups at Pre-seed or Seed-stage, but only 600+ out of them have managed to reach Series-A, which brings the success rate to even lower at just 15%. Apart from this, even in the entire Indian startup ecosystem, there are so many Product Managers, Ex-founders. Many more, either have an idea around a Problem-statement but don’t know how to proceed or there are students in college, who are amazed by the startup ecosystem, and want to take their early step, but are afraid of how to take the next step. To solve this we have our guests of this episode, Rajiv Srivatsa & Nitin Sharma, Antler India. Antler unlike most VC firms bets on the startup ideas at the Pre-seed stage with their Antler India Residency or in some cases even earlier with college students via Antler India Fellowship.
