Startups

Helping you turn ideas into impact

We empower start-ups with the knowledge, capital and networks they need to scale successfully. From early-stage ideation to preparing for later-stage rounds or an eventual IPO, our programmes are designed to support founders at each critical milestone.

By combining access to capital partners, structured mentorship, strategic guidance and a focused accelerator programme, we help entrepreneurs turn bold ideas into sustainable, investor-ready businesses.

Our goal is not only to prepare start-ups for funding, but also to equip them with the tools to compete and thrive in demanding markets.

Capital & Investment Advisory

Pre-seed to IPO

We provide tailored capital and funding advisory support to help start-ups navigate the journey from pre-seed to later stages. Our team works closely with founders to:

structure funding rounds,
clarify capital requirements and use of funds,
connect with relevant investors, and
think through valuation and dilution strategies over time.

We act as a strategic adviser and matchmaking platform. All investments are made directly between investors and companies, and formal IPO or public-issue processes are handled by SEBI-registered merchant bankers and other licensed intermediaries.

Mentorship & Strategic Growth

Expert Mentorship

Our network of experienced entrepreneurs, operators and industry specialists offers hands-on mentorship, guiding founders through the realities of building and scaling their ventures. From product–market fit and customer discovery to team building and governance, our mentors help you move faster and avoid common mistakes.

Strategy Consultation

We work with start-ups to develop robust strategies that align ambition with market realities. This includes:

refining your business model,
designing go-to-market and distribution plans,
planning financial and operational structures, and
identifying key milestones for the next 12-24 months.

Execution & Implementation Support

Ideas only create value when executed well. We support founders in turning strategy into action by:

setting clear, trackable goals,
implementing basic systems and processes, and
monitoring progress so that plans are adjusted as you learn.

Angel Investing

Helping start-ups scale faster, smarter, stronger

Our intensive 12-week accelerator equips early-stage start-ups with the mentorship, resources and connections they need to grow. Designed for founders with bold ideas, the programme blends hands-on guidance, strategic planning and exposure to investors to help turn your vision into a resilient business.

You progress through a structured curriculum that covers everything from refining product-market fit to preparing for fundraising and building internal systems. Each week is crafted to improve focus, speed and execution quality.

Kickstart funding support

To help start-ups hit the ground running, selected participants in our 12-week accelerator programme are eligible for initial funding of up to INR 2.5 million (subject to due diligence, terms and final approval).

This early-stage support can be used to:

develop or refine your MVP,
conduct market research and customer validation,
build your core team, or
cover essential early operational costs.

The objective is to reduce short-term capital pressure so founders can focus on building, learning and executing. Funding, where offered, is provided directly by Capital Circle and/or aligned investors; it is not guaranteed for all applicants or participants.
