Need some help! In my current company we are exploring if there are any acquisition opportunities in the Indian Fintech startup ecosystem. Can you suggest which database(s) will be perfect to do a comprehensive research? Such as Tracxn, Venture Intelligence, Crunchbase etc
Thanks!

Hey  all👋 

I am trying to write a research paper on StartUps. (topic is not fixed yet). What would be a recommended platform get details of the Startups? (For ex: Funding, Employee strength) . Not looking for accurate information but just an outline would be enough.

Currently using Tracxn and Crunchbase.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am on the lookout for remote jobs at budding startups.

I know Crunchbase is probably the best option, but they require you to pay the complete 1-year fees, which would be rs 25k+. I want to learn if there are other similar platforms that might be free or maybe charged on a monthly basis.

Ways keep track of recently funded startups apart from crunchbase

I work for a capital venture, and I wanna  know where do I find leads (recent Indian startups and their valuation and other info) for my company without the help of platforms like crunch base, tracxn and other websites like these.

Suggest me

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Please suggest free alternatives to Crunchbase and Tracxn to discover companies and startups.

The above two have very limited search listing for free users.

Any other ways to discover companies would also be helpful.

I want to find seed stage startups to join as a founding engineer. I want to take some risk while I can and try if I can get a good return.

How should I go about this? 

I have 7 years of experience. Building distributed systems, backend services with Go, Clojure, etc. I have some frontend experience as well with SvelteKit, Tailwind, etc. I also made a SaaS product recently and got around 10 small businesses as customers on subscription. The product itself got acquired for 5 figures USD after I ran it for 2 months

How to find seed stage startups?

Take a free subscription of crunchbase. Find startups funded in the last 2 years by good funds and cancel subscription. The founders are generally easy to cold call

Founder

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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

Good FinTech Startups

I've been curious about whether there are any good Indian startups in the AI field that are not building "tools" like meeting summary or anything of that sort. But more like research based such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Midjourney, etc.
They could be early stage or late stage, doesn't matter. Have you guys seen any around you with potential?

Any good Indian AI startups?

Does anybody have a PDF or any list of startup companies in Bangalore which is basically Serviced based or Product based.

Planning to leave the job and start a business. Want to work on a good tech startup idea which can scale.

What is the good startup idea in India to start?

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?

What's the current scene with Indian FinTech

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.

Which startup is worth joining?

What are some good saas companies in India to explore?

Good 100mn+ valuation early stage SaaS companies?

How do you guys find cool Startups to apply for jobs? Linkedin seems useless to me for this. Also  feel free to comment about any startup you know that is doing cool stuff in the Indian market. I am specifically looking for hardware or hardware adjacent startups

Cool Startups in India?

Heard from most people that there’s a lot of crunch. Wondering if anyone at their companies feels like their startup is growing despite the slowdown. 

Razorpay, CRED, and are seeing tighter regulations and downrounds. The food delivery companies have all gone through their down rounds and readjustment of expectations. Even SaaS most founders have a poor revenue/employee ratio and the india story is still yet to play out for the newer bets. 

Just yesterday Oslash announced it’s shutting down its app.

Any green shoots ☘️? And if there are maybe it’s a good thread for folks to try and hire.

Any Indian startups doing well currently ?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

A bit about myself, I am working as a PM in an early stage B2C startup with 2.5 YOE which includes internships too. 

I was exploring finance out of curiosity and started loving it. Grasped few important concepts around valuation, thesis building, identifying crazy startups and much more. 

Also, started Venture Scouting for one of the tier-2 VCs in Europe. 

I am looking to switch to a analyst role in of the VCs which focuses on B2C investments in insurtech, AI, and fintech. 

What would be the best possible ways to reach to Indian Tier 2 VCs, and what are the other things that I can do to stand out strong? 

Need help and thanks in advance.

What stops you from *stealing* an idea that you found mind-blowing from a pitch of a startup trying to get a seed funding?

Need help with understanding which are the top series B, C startups in Bangalore with huge growth potential?

Will name a few:
Flobiz
Vyapar
Velocity (series A I guess)
What else?
