अपने स्टार्टअप के लिए फंडिंग कैसे आकर्षित करें?
निवेशक आपके स्टार्टअप में निवेश क्यों करते हैं?

[@snehilgoyal1087]

It's so fascinating how you explain things, like it feels like that we are having a conversation sitting in a room and you are explaining it in person.

[@warikoo]

Thank you!

[@snehilgoyal1087]

@@warikoo Welcome Sir. Sir if possible can you please explain us with the process by which startup ideas which are not based on apps work, how they get funded? Because making an MVP for a new technology or a new product takes more investment than making an App(if you have the skills). So is there any way to gain some initial investment on based of on paper reports and not making a prototype, or if there is a way to get help in bootstrapping phase. Thank you.

[@digitalvaidhya]

@@snehilgoyal1087 Seed funding and Angle investors focus on your team more than your idea. So, if your have an idea with a app based MVP then there should be someone tech-savvy in your team. I it's same I suggest you to found some technical person as a co-founder.

[@snehilgoyal1087]

@@digitalvaidhya This is the thing na it is not an app, it's a product which needs equipments. Making an app's prototype is somewhat not expensive you can do it on a laptop sitting at home. But for making a well engineered product I need place, technicians, equipments,etc. I have my study, my team, my research and to make that prototype I am seeking funds.

[@varunabhi]

@@snehilgoyal1087 If you've everything prepared like the idea, team, road map then make a pitch deck and prototype of your product and go to startup incubators and get funded. I think u know this, investors invest in your idea only if you can assure them of their returns within 5-7 years. And last, there's a startup called slide bean which helps you making eye-catching pitch decks. check their youtube channel.

[@namankh24]

You have no idea how much you are helping young entrepreneurs with the questions that are not taught anywhere and information about this is almost non-existent. Thank you for this. :) :)

[@mdsameer8684]

1)Bootstrap 2)Seed Round 3)Series Funding ...A,B,C,D.....(Valuation increase at each stage) {Institutional investors} 4) IPO (initial Public offering).... Private Company becomes public

[@finance_with_Deb]

I'm kind of getting addicted with your charismatic personality and started following all your social media handles , you are truly an amazing person and your contents are incredible.🔥

[@warikoo]

Thank you :)

[@theindianchineseguy]

I total agree. Mr. Ankur Warikoo has a very charming personality. His videos are so much fun to watch. And the reason is that he simplifies things without all business jargon. And he genuinely wants to help people. I guess that's why people love his videos even more. Way to go. You ROCK.

[@sanjibsingh4615]

Really appreciate the way you are giving back to the startup ecosystem by creating such genuine and easy content. I would like to request you to create more content on what kind of startups to expect in the upcoming time in India and how students can get more benefits by creating and working in startups. Thank you for existing Mr. Warikoo

[@bhushanjadhav6578]

As always knowledge Like pure gold available for free👏♥️🙌🔥

[@RajaAnilKumar]

Bro you have absolutely nailed it. So clear, understanding and concise. I have seen so many videos and attended workshops but, no one has explained like you about Startup funding. This helps a lot for many people. Keep it up Bro and all the Best.

[@HZ1S]

you way of talking is so captivating and plus informative good going, i consider myself a hardcore failure who flunked 4 times in engineering but i still managed to get that piece of paper...one day i wish to start my own proptech start-up business and your videos help me to feel motivated even after such a disastrous and heartbreaking journey till now...

[@rishabhgoyal8110]

It's so good how you simplify these jargons. Looking forward to the next video on the topic of valuations and its various nuances.

[@geetanshsahni]

Love that you used a feminine example while saying "Mai ek chhota sa business kar leti hu, uske chalte mai apni family ko support kar paaungi". Felt so good to get caught off guard because due to social conditioning we always expect a "kar leta/kar paunga". Good to see this change!

[@sjegannath6295]

I think when most people say "kar leta/ kar paunga" they genuinely mean for both girls and boys. I mean business at the end of the day doesn't see if you are girl or boy it just sees how solid your idea is.

[@sacarchy]

This was the biggest stupidity in this video And found it awkward that warikoo is trying to set this feminist agenda in his video Women represent only 14% of entrepreneurs in India, and a majority of those startups are microenterprises and self-financed. Without talent if you try to promote someone because he/she is from a particular group thn it becomes like reservation and they cry that they were not given enough opportunities. Toppers are girls but When it comes to run a business they all are not there So there is no point in promoting this stupidity

[@shalakagaikwad8813]

So many doubts of mine got cleared. Thank you sir for such an absolute explanation of the overall process. Truly helpul!!

[@digitalvaidhya]

Thankyou, Literally first time someone explained the whole process in very simple steps.

[@rohanxman]

Always wanted to know about how startups get their funding. Now finally a video on that.

[@saiware8565]

Thanks Sir for wonderful insights. Loved the lucid way in which you explained concepts of funding in startup.

[@milindpatel3940]

Thanks man aapki vajah se ham log yeh lessons sikh rhe hai vo age hamari madad karenge... ❤

[@zeeshanfazal2304]

I'm from Pakistan,Today I listened 1st time about your start-ups journey, Immediately I search by your name and found you on KZbin & finally subscribed you, Feeling very exited to learn from you in future, God bless you always.

[@anonnymm]

I was just thinking of it in evening. Then thought to ask you to make video on it on Twitter and there you go...... 👍

[@kamal_pratap]

[@samridhijain019]

Ankur warikoo is one of the best teachers I've had. Absolutely loving the start-up related content!!!! I'm a law student and sir it would be great if you could make videos on legal problems start-ups face as I have a HUGE interest in that area. I plan on working with start-ups and I really want to understand the legal issues involved, atleast in an overview! Thank you:)

[@technefact3499]

[@raiant4297]

Every steps explained smoothly & clearly, btw I've one Ques. Do investors invest in ideas of a organisation which wants to work for or is working related to development planning of country's system?

[@tanmoydasthisside]

This man really is THE King 👑 of Simplification :)

[@trishankasaikia7181]

Your videos are so engaging and informational and the best part is you use inclusive language like "chhota sa business kar leti hu" unlike many other youtubers! It shows your progressive thinking :)

[@rfrost4708]

Hi Ankur, Love the content. Was wondering if you could make a video on the equity that you have to give up when it comes to funding and how that varies depending on the stage of the funding. A deep dive into how the decision making power is affected by getting funded would give an amazing insight. Thanks!

[@travelonatory9570]

This person will make sure that I start a startup 😂

Hi Sir, I would want to request you to make a video on crowdfunding. I know it's not legal in India yet. But I understand, we can still do that in the western markets. It would be great if we can learn when and how one gets the returns out of the investments made at the beginning of the project (in case if the startup makes it big enough). Kind Regards, Kaushik

Most of the cold emails are not yet answered by investors/VCs Do we need recommendations. We raised friends, family round made some revenue. But can't able to find a reply from angel investors/seed programs in country.

Hey, my question is how does the company share there revenue to investors once they invest money and does it change when the company list to stock market and also does retail investors get a share of revenue or profit from the company. By the way loved your "startup startup" rap😂

[@vershanjalichauhan6415]

Investors get equity when they invest in a startup. When the company goes public, the investors must sit on the investment for six months or so. These lock-up periods, which are negotiated with the IPO’s underwriters, are designed to keep the stock stable. When the lock-up expires, the VC firms must decide whether to hold or sell and distribute the proceeds to their limited partners. If they sell, they also have to decide whether to distribute cash or shares.
