THub in association with Kalaari Capital, hosted a session on ‘Funding Winter’ with Vani Kola (vanik.eth), Sandeep Goel, Prabhdeep Singh and Srinivas Rao Mahankali (MSR) on 12 August. The panellists offered three mantras for navigating this period of the dip in funding, both from a startup and investor point of view:
– Taking a step back to scrutinise the product
– Having the right unit economics, and
– How only emphasizing raising funds might not always lead to success.
