Superb presentation - informative, educative and most important, extremely crisp, holds your attention! Salute the excellent work that went into producing this well researched and very inspiring video!
Rajaa, thank you very much! We're really glad that you found the video so informative and engaging. We're working hard to create more content like this, so please stay tuned.
Excellent research and video on Indian Investor Market.... Really appreciating the team of "Backstage With Millionaires", I got this good video while I am searching for angel investors to my startup disruptive business. Thank you team..
Hi Shiva, on behalf of the entire BwM team, thank you for the encouragement and support! We’re so happy that you found our channel, and we hope that you’re able to get even more value out of the future videos that we post 🙂. -Caleb
Best thing is while pitching your startup idea infront of investors/Angel to be your self! To be clear to be on points your pros/cons Matters while pitching your deck should be perfectly point to point created that can make understand the investor you're pitchin!
U can check Y combinator, slidebeam YT , etc for ur requirements. Also check out shark tank episodes to know how participants pitch their ideas to the Investor sharks
Hi Suyash, the best way to raise funds depends on where you are. If you're not in a metro city, then you may have a hard time. But you can always reach out to VCs directly through social media or email. Your success rate may be quite low though, even if you have an amazing idea (will explain why in a moment). The best option would be to start building a network of entrepreneurs, ideally offline through startup events. Some of them will surely know some VCs and could put you in touch if they feel your idea is worthwhile. In the world of startups, a large portion of your success depends on who you know, who you surround yourself with, and who _you_ are. When it comes to VCs, they are investing less in your idea, and more in who you are, in who the team of your startup is. They are investing in your confidence in yourself and your belief in your own idea. And in order to see that, they need to meet you in-person, and in order to meet in-person, you need connections and recommendations. -Caleb
Hello , i wanna make Indian's alternative to Lithium ion battery based on sodium ion or Sea Salt or Non Aqueous based electrolyte , similar to 18650 but it needs some initial finding or Angel investment . I already have made its prototype .
Great content, thank you. Is there a direct portal to get in touch with them. I have a unique product which I want to patent and then manufacture and sell
Hi #BWM! Great video indeed. Sharp, Crisp and informative. 2 Queries - 1. Could you share specific examples of Angel investors looking to fund non-tech start up (eg. FMCG/Ayurvedic/Nutrition etc), I see almost all mentioned AIs only funding tech start Ups. 2. If we were to contact some of these AIs for Non-tech start up pitch can you help with i) Some template of pitch deck & background word ii) Share few contacts (in video) where we could connect with such AIs. Big thanks for helping with such work!
Hello Ronak, Thank you for your comment, this video is certainly in our plans and you will see a detailed one on this very soon on our channel. However, starting today, I am beginning a new series of videos where I go live every Saturday at 9PM to answer all the queries from our subscribers about entrepreneurship and startups. So if you have any specific doubts, feel free to join us at 9PM today and every Saturday from now on. - Prithvi
Hi Rose, I'm Canadian but have been living in India for more than 5 years and have been covering Indian startups for the last 3.5 years 🙂 I don't know any of those investors personally, but would like to meet them someday soon! -Caleb
Hi Minute4Tech, you're right! That would be an awesome video, especially if we can get a one-on-one interview with Gaurav Munjal! We'll add this to our list of future videos, and thank you for the suggestion.
We need funds to start and have all Machineries need Packing machines and funds for my Company related to Food Products Mainly in Masalas, Pickles, Papads, Jams etc.I want to start it in large scale, So need funds...
That's just the way it is - all of the prominent Indian angels are men. Same thing for startup founders, very few of them are women sadly. I wish it was not the case, but that's just the reality 😔 -Caleb
Hi Abhay, in order to get funded, you'll need to reach out to angel investors and VC firms and show them what you've accomplished so far - if they like what they see, they'll fund you. Before doing this though, I would recommend that you attend some pitch events or pitch your idea to fellow entrepreneurs via online entrepreneurship groups. Remember, you only need 1 investor. Just because 100 investors have said no doesn't mean that you have a bad idea. -Caleb
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
Are you a startup mentor if then I have a new idea in fintech segment but don't know either it will a viable or not how to contact you to discuss about my idea
Hi Kishalay, Caleb here - I'm not a startup mentor, no. Do you happen to live in Bangalore? If so, or even if you live in any of the other cities which have startup culture, you can probably find some local groups on Facebook where mentors as well as entrepreneurs would be happy to give you feedback on the viability of your fintech idea. Once the lockdown is over and it is safe to go to events, I would also recommend attending some free, local entrepreneurship events where you may be able to get connected with entrepreneurs, VCs, etc.
Hello am Joseph Kane from Miami United State am the CEO of Carsforsale. Am also an investor. Contact me on my WhatsApp +14052924145 My Brother is in India at the moment. I want you to meet him to discuss a very crucial business.
Hi Abhishek, Varun here. I guess there aren't many deeptech startups in this list but that is only because these investors have made hundreds of investments and we have only included some of their recent ones. But compared to more prominent sectors like eccommerce and fintech, deeptech startups certainly receive less attraction in terms of funding. However, there are a lot of emerging deeptech startups in India and I am sure you might start hearing about them sooner rather than later.
Something interesting about TH-cam is that it calculates likes and dislikes the same way. So even if we got 172 dislikes and 2 likes, our video would have the same performance as it currently does 🙂. So we don't mind people disliking. Probably these are people who were hoping for a Hindi video or an Indian host - I know some Indian people have a hard time understanding my accent. And I don't blame them! I also sometimes have a hard time understanding Indian accents 😂. -Caleb
We need funds and have all Machineries need Packing machines and funds for my Company related to Food Products Mainly in Masalas, Pickles, Papads, Jams etc.I want to start it in large scale, So need funds...
Hey Abhishek, one of the creators of this channel has been funding BwM out of pocket. As no external funding has ever been raised, we haven't ever created a pitch deck.
@@backstagewithmillionaires oh..best of luck for future then. Are you guys comfortable enough to share your monthly balance sheet or something close I mean something like what he guys of Slidebean have been doing.
All that we will say is that expenses vary quite a bit from month to month. Some months involve a lot of travel, e.g. trips to Delhi, or long cab rides to film interviews at the edge of town, while other months involve no travel whatsoever, like this last month, due to the lockdown. Some months we buy new equipment, e.g. new external hard drives to store footage, or the lighting setup that has enabled us to create the videos that we have been creating lately. All of that said, we are definitely doing this on a shoestring budget. We're hoping that at some point in the near future BwM sees a boom in popularity so that we can continue to do this indefinitely!
@@backstagewithmillionaires omg...I hope that BWM rises in popularity because you guys are the best channel which is dedicated for covering Indian Startup scenario. I will keep coming back to your latest video so that you can have some more views.
@@abhishekdev258 Thanks a lot Abhishek, that means a lot! The #1 thing that we need now, more than views, is to get more people to see these videos. We have been sharing them in a couple of different places besides our own social media pages, but the biggest source of new subscribers has been our audience sharing the videos on their own Facebook/WhatsApp/LinkedIn, or on other platforms like Quora and Reddit. The analytics tell us that for this video in particular, there was a sudden spike when someone (we don't know who) shared the video on WhatsApp, and it got forwarded a few times. If that hadn't happened, the video likely would still be at 200-300 views.
Looks like people have idea, gets funded, and sell off the business to a big firm for millions. Take a break in some island and then do the same thing again.
Same here Shubhangi 😞 same thing can be observed in India's unicorn club. Not sure what the exact numbers are today, near the end of the 2021, but in in March of 2021, less than 4% of Indian unicorn founders were women (3 out of 83). Would be amazing to see a more balanced gender representation, as I'm sure the ecosystem would be healthier, happier, and very likely more innovative/competitive as well! -Caleb
Hey Abhishek, Caleb here - I stopped watching after there were ninjas and samurai in season 2. But I'm with you - companies that use data, ML, and AI sometimes give me Black Mirror vibes. Makes me wonder what the future will be like.
Well, one could certainly argue that machines are more than capable of outsmarting humans. Today, they can only do this in specific tasks, e.g. beating humans at Go. However, in the future, when humans create artificial consciousness and combine that with these abilities, machines will be capable of infinitely more than humans.
@@backstagewithmillionaires I meant the decisions at administration level. Like whether or not I should hire someone, machine can look at their past and say that hiring someone is bad because of their criminal history but many companies do hire people who were incarcerated based on their performance at the interview. It is bone chilling to know that Google has given administration level access to their AI.
To be completely honest (and this is still Caleb here, by the way - thought I should clarify that before giving my somewhat controversial opinion), companies already turn their employees into robots. There are SOPs, guidelines, instructions, procedures, etc. so that the employee is less likely to make a mistake. This also decreases room for creativity, but I think a lot of large companies see this as a price worth paying for a consistent, predictable level of quality. Creativity is often seen as a liability. And this predictability and consistency will significantly increase when you replace a human with AI. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? I'm not sure. It'll definitely save companies money, which they could use to innovate. Or executives might just end up pocketing it, who knows.
