Founders Who Pitched, Founders Who Raised

Real stories from founders across India who used Karo Pitch to find their investors and close their rounds.

Karo Pitch connected us with three investors in our first batch. We closed our ₹1.2Cr pre-seed round within 8 weeks of the pitch event. The KaroStartup team genuinely cares about founder success.

Priya Sharma

Co-founder & CEO, AgriLink

Raised ₹1.2Cr Pre-Seed

The pitch preparation sessions were game-changing. We finally learned how to articulate our unit economics clearly. Two weeks post-event, we had term sheets from two angels.

Rahul Mehta

Founder, HealthStack

2 Term Sheets

As a tier-2 city founder, I never thought top investors would take meetings with us. Karo Pitch made it happen. We're now backed by a Mumbai-based family office.

Anjali Verma

Founder & CTO, EduBharat

Backed by Family Office

The investor network at Karo Pitch is unlike anything else in India. We pitched to 40+ investors in one weekend and walked away with a lead investor committed the same day.
