We recently wrapped up Funding Beyond the First Round: Building Investor Confidence for Scale- supported by our ecosystem partner, EIC @IIML Lucknow, with a singular goal a dynamic program designed to help women entrepreneurs tackle the challenges of scaling beyond the seed stage. With 25 inspiring women-led startups, 5 expert speakers, and 7 investors, mentors, and enterprise leaders, the sessions focused on building strong pitch decks, mastering storytelling with data, and crafting confident fundraising asks. The highlight? 14 founders had the chance to pitch 1:1 to investors and mentors, receiving personalized feedback and forging valuable connections. It was an empowering experience that helped these founders take a bold step toward scaling their tech ventures. As part of our #NasscomTech.WE program we are committed to building an ecosystem for women-led startups through mentorship, curated opportunities, and industry connections. Next, we are bringing this opportunity to Indore! Women entrepreneurs in Indore, get ready to refine your pitch, connect with investors, and scale your business. ๐Ÿ“Indore ๐Ÿ—“19th & 20th June Register now to secure your spot: nasscom.accubate.app/ext/surโ€ฆ @MKritika_ @sangeetagupta29 @ShaliniDewan @iamsharmashreya @prashantvrm011 @mayankkumar_17 @BuddyCabs_ @carbelimuk @dubverse_ai @EinstellenAI @enlog_official @genomiki1 @gudhgrams @LawaGlobaL1 @petofyindia @searchmytenders @stpiindia @maneeshcs1 @AddisonAppu
