Early-stage decisions or choices can make or break a company. There's the additional challenge of when and how to raise the next round.
The early-stage fundraising process can be draining for founders, who often go through pre-seed, seed, and multiple bridges before reaching Series A.
Start X, an initiative by Start Insights, is designed to help you clear these hurdles so you can focus on building your business.
Founders who join Start X gain access to fundraising education, community, company-building support, and cross-border experience they need to launch or accelerate their company.
Start X is only open for to companies based in Tamil Nadu. Each Start X wave includes 10 to 20 companies and runs for a 4 -week-long program.
Start X serves as a different kind of co-founder, providing guidance through the most critical stage of your startup journey.
Startup founders often face numerous attempts to reach out to investors. The Start X program addresses this challenge. You’ll have the opportunity to pitch your idea to a curated panel of marquee investors during the demo, which helps in closing the desired capital.
You’ll learn, grow, and share your journey with fellow founders from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. You'll also work closely with Start X coaches, cross-border mentors, and subject experts to make tangible progress toward building your startup.
Participants will engage in a program designed to accelerate the growth of early-stage companies, drawing on Start X's deep knowledge of company building. Founders will also take part in experience-sharing sessions and workshops.
