VC 101 Bootcamp is part of Investment Readiness Programs designed to help startup founders clearly understand how venture capital funding works in the real world. The program focuses on explaining the complete VC funding journey from two critical viewpoints: how venture capital firms evaluate startups, structure deals, and make investment decisions, and how founders should prepare, engage with investors, and navigate fundraising conversations.
Each VC 101 Bootcamp session typically features a Venture Capital partner who shares insights from the investor side, followed by a founder who has successfully raised VC funding and discusses practical experiences, challenges, and learnings from their fundraising journey. This dual perspective helps founders bridge the information gap between theory and practice.
The bootcamp is conducted every month as an in-person program across different cities in Kerala, ensuring wider regional access. So far, VC 101 Bootcamp has been conducted in seven locations and has engaged over 700 founders, helping them approach VC fundraising with greater clarity and confidence.
