Currently at mid-mvp stage fintech startup looking for pre-seed funding to resume their progress. Does this qualify the requirements to achieve a pre-seed funding ? I bootstrapped the startup myself at the beginning and we have not yet reached the stage where we can present a MVP for investors which is a huge setback we are currently facing. I tried to apply to few Indian based pre-seed ventures but all I got was just rejection mails not sure why. Prepared a pitch deck and a company structure profile although all our employees are remote. I just don't know who or how to approach an angel investor or a ventures firm so lacking expertise in this field. Suggestions would be appreciated ☺️
Hey! Not an investor, but would love to know more about your startup
Lol I ain't finding investors on grapevine. It's a unified trading platform. Sorry can't reveal further but yeah it's unique, no one has implemented it in india yet.
@Catshowl we already built one during college, mostly using integration APIs with existing brokers. we didn’t build a front end tho, had a live django server and you just hit it with requests to execute your orders.
You should be able to get to a prototype stage though. Try finding technical talent to get you to a bare MVP.
Honestly, go to VCs only when you feel super confident about your startup. A little bit of progress is never enough, you may want to show a LOT of progress
