MyStartupValley 2.0 · Pitch Day across India
India's biggest pitch and funding day.
5,000 founders pitch live on one day, at 50 centres in 20 cities of India. Investor juries score every pitch, and MSV turns each one into a deal note investors can act on.
The date, cities and centres are announced soon.
One format, in every centre.
Every centre runs the same day. A founder pitches for 5 minutes and takes 5 minutes of questions from a jury of investors. No demos and a fixed 8-slide deck, so investors understand each business inside the 5 minutes.
5 minutes to pitch, 5 minutes of investor questions, 8 slides, no demos. A founder in a tier-3 city pitches exactly like one in Mumbai.
Jurors score every pitch on one standard rubric, with written feedback and an interest signal. A score means the same thing in every city.
Founders get their scores and feedback before they go home. Investors get sector-wise reports within 48 hours.
