PedalStart’s Founder-Investor Fusion Links 350 Founders to 220 Investors Across India
Startup accelerator PedalStart has wrapped up its four-city, invite-only roadshow “Founder-Investor Fusion,” a series designed to plug India’s earliest-stage founders directly into pools of strategic capital. Beginning in Bengaluru in March 2025 and travelling through Hyderabad, Mumbai and Gurugram, the programme drew more than 350 participants and 220+ angel investors or HNIs. Ninety up-and-coming ventures gained face time with mentors, while six startups—including Flowwat, InsightAI and Shoegr—secured ₹6 crore in soft funding commitments during live pitches. The initiative underlines PedalStart’s mission to give proof-of-concept and early-revenue companies the capital, guidance and network they need to move faster.
