Any idea on what is a good cost per install for a fintech brand in India? Specially early age startups offering not a very conventional investment product.

I’m looking to switch to B2C FinTech startups in India with good product and team! Do suggest if you know which one are those A quick background: founding product and business lead at web3 stealth startup, before worked in web2 FinTech

Hello! As someone who works with startups (not in)and has a well paying job, I am often intrigued and keen to invest money (say a few lacs, and provide some mentorship) as a micro angel investor in early age pre series/ seed rounds, to try my hand. Not talking about becoming a LP or joining a VC/PE. (I know the pros and cos, the glamour and the ugly pieces) . While there are some fintech startups where you can invest as low as 5000/- in a startup, I believe these aren’t for me. Any guidance on how I begin. (Apart from- go out there and network with startup founders and events) ?

P.s have posted under finance section too. But thought might get some guidance here too!

How do you evaluate the risk and the potential of the offer from an early-stage (seed stage done) startup in India? For example (hypothetical), a seasoned leader / founder is starting a new startup in fintech industry (e.g., next zerodha, etc). They raise 10 million USD at 30 million USD post-money valuation. I took fintech as example specifically to ensure it's not only engineers that will be needed from the beginning. * Now, If I were to join as a founding team member (founding engineer for example), what kind of salary, ESOPs one should expect as minimum? * If I were to join after 2-3 engineers are already hired (so not founding engg anymore), what is realistic expectation? * What are some questions I must ask to evaluate if the offer and equity I am being given is good or not. (I know there's probably no way to generalise a "good/bad offer" as that likely depends also on very specific situation of the startup - like what problem is it trying to tackle, and what is the potential of it, etc. So feel free to share your experience as well if not advice)

So in sept 2022, i made the reverse switch that is Startup--->traditionally run nbfc. The current co. Where I work is operational since 2017, profitable (~PAT of 30crs) With 3 years and 10 months of work ex I'm currently reporting to the business head and I'm the only product manager/owner for their new business unit. Current hikes have matched the nbfc standards however the CTC still feels on the lower end. Looking for some advice on what the fintech/new age nbfc's have on offers. Ps my current CTC post hike (within 7 months) of joining is 9.2LPA. My background is non tech

Considering Edtech, Fintech, E-commerce is done

At Nexus(our startup), we're passionate about revolutionizing the way people invest in Stocks and crypto. But as any startup founder can attest, the path to success is often filled with obstacles. Recently, we encountered a significant roadblock in our quest for funding. A potential investor turned us down, citing that hit us hard: we didn't have a fully functioning MVP. Now, you might be wondering, what exactly our MVP was showing? Well it wasn't the flashy trading platform we dream of. Instead it considered a basic interface with stock prices displayed here and there. The cold reality is that users couldn't buy or sell any assets, nor could they access other advanced features. Why, you ask ? The answer lies in the complex regulatory landscape of the financial industry. To facilitate the trading functionality, a platform must obtain a SEBI license. This license requires rigorous compliance with financial regulations, and crucially proof of "financial backing". Investors won't understand that we need a significant amount of funding to take off. Without it, we'd be swimming in the shallow waters.

What's the scene with Indian FinTech companies, like Jupiter, Razorpay, Navi, Fi, Cashfree etc... I see some of them have started hiring again, are they a good option to join?
