Good D2C brands

I am starting a D2C lifestyle brand. Which are the pre-seed venture firms to approach for funding?

For me - Mokobara, Chaayos, Chumbak Looking to understand Indian brands that have done really well, and understand if it's the product being superior or brand/marketing being an outlier

Any new age consumer / D2C brands that you are fond of? Looking for inspiration on how to build a brand

willl try my best to be honest, ask me anything

I want to get the list of well funded D2C brands specially in FMCG/Apparels/Cosmetics/Electronics. Is there any site/screener Preferably free, please let me know. Google isn't helping much, Its giving irrelevant information. Need this information for reaching out to their operations team.

Looking to move on and apply for jobs but kinda worried I'll join an organization with shit culture. Please name a few, you know, have good culture. Would really appreciate:)

There are so many startups failing all around. Many which I thought were doing something great also have been duds. Some epic surprise failures would be dunzo, pharmeasy, etc. It looks like there will be many more such revelations in coming days 😐😐 Please share list of some stable and good startups (Series B and beyond) which I should be targetting.

Is there any report/ resource on Indian D2C brands by funding, revenue and profit?

I am starting a D2C fashion brand. Haven't been able to arrange funds from any sources. In a way, it's a chicken and egg problem in market conditions like this. Funding ke liye traction chahiye and traction ke liye funding chahiye. Need 15 lacs to get things off the ground. Considering the minimum order requirements and marketing expense. Do you think it would be a good idea to do crowdfunding for my startup? Any help / insights would be highly appreciated 🙏

These would be the companies that has a great team attacking a real large problem with a vision or roadmap to also grow profitably as a business + great culture (and not necessarily chasing the valuation game and dressing up the company for investors or for eventually dumping it to common folks in IPO). Place where problem+product+people+profit have a much higher focus.
