No carnival, no sales people selling you stuff,
no speeches, no theory, no gyan, no biases
ONLY Funding...!

India Fund Fest 2018

After the resounding success of the first edition of India Fund Fest in May, 2017, we are back to offer you an opportunity to get funded efficiently and quickly.

The inaugural event had many sceptics who predicted failure as there was no carnival like atmosphere. How could a Startup event be conducted without speeches of sponsors, stalls to sell you products and services, crowds of unrelated people and the needless networking? 6,500+ entrepreneurs from across India and 17 other countries proved them all wrong.

If you are an Entrepreneur who has been looking for a platform where you can directly meet and interact with investors and get funded in a timely and effective manner, this is the platform you have been looking for. So, what are you waiting for?
