For our June Angel Investment Masterclass, we're bringing in @shubhamrai : Founder, operator, and one of the most founder-friendly angels in India's startup ecosystem.
👍Shubham doesn't shout about it. He just backs people.
Flam. Eight Networks. RocketPay. Green-Stitch. Muse..
What made him write his first cheque.
How he reads a founder. What his misses taught him.
No theory. Just the real math, the art, and the honest lessons from someone who's been inside it.
The answers ranged from "deploy something real" to "understand how startups actually work" to one honest soul who wrote "I just want to stop being scared of code."
All valid. All happening. Ship every week 👇
If you're a college looking to place your students on real-world projects not fake case studies let's talk.
If you're a company with a product problem and want a hungry team of students working on it for 6-8 weeks--> let's talk.
Real deadlines. And the stack? Python, FastAPI, HTMX, Supabase, Claude , Kiro Dev Studio, Remotion, Blotato, n8n.
Not toys. Not tutorials. The actual tools startups use to ship product.
On Day 1 we asked them: what do you want to accomplish by end of July?
These students -> straight out of their second year are building real products for real companies. From scratch. Here's what they're working on over 6-8 weeks: with 4 partner companies, 3-4 amazing mentors
-> A paid appointment scheduling invoicing app
-> WhatsApp hub builder for creators and coaches
-> An AI content engine powering social media - use case 1
-> An AI content engine powering social media - use case 2
-> An independent event check-in PWA
15 Students, 4 companies. 5 projects. Real problem statements.
Last week we welcomed 15 second-year students from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani to Foundership - The Business Studio. 🎓
15 Students from all 3 BITS Campuses - Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad
Day 1. Bengaluru. A whiteboard full of ideas. And zero idea what they were about to get into. This isn't a typical internship.
No coffee runs. No PowerPoint slides to copy-paste. No "shadow this senior for 8 weeks."
We kick-started our mission project to build 1000 Angel Investors at
Foundership Investor Studio.
The First Masterclass was amazing!
3 hours. 6 operators. Zero angel investing experience.
Join our mission to build 1000 Angel Investors and be part of nation building with new risk capital!
Super appreciation to @jyothirmayee for being open and sharing her insights on her journey as an angel investor over a decade!
From conception --> execution kudos to our founders - @bimleshgundurao & @santoshpanda to making this happen and creating frameworks that can make a huge different to angel investing in India.
