ARG a.k.a. Amit Raj Gogia who is a Scale up expert, Angel Investor, Mentor to consumer health ventures, 2X Founder & Ex Consultant Shark tank S2 Launched Seed Pitchathon last month for early stage startup founders to pitch to select panel of Investors for fund raising.

Founders of early stage startups struggle to raise seed round for several reasons primary being no network in investor community so they resort to the option of cold calling or mailing any investor they get to know about. This simply does not work as the ratio of startups and investors is so skewed that such pitches are mostly lost in exchange itself.

Most importantly not all investors are active in all stages of a startup journey and sector agnostic.

Every Investor connected with a fund or angel network has an investment thesis which lays out the exact stage & sector in which they are active in.

Only 5 selected startups get to pitch for 10 mins (5 mins for pitch and 5 mins for Q&A) to a select panel of investors. Those startups that excite investors are then formally introduced post event over mail. This way the founders get to showcase there ventures to a panel of diverse funds in one go, not only saving precious time and effort but also ensuring success of a startup journey by getting the much needed capital to scale up.

Commenting on the event, Amit Raj Gogia, curator of the event said: “As an ex-founder i can relate to the challenges being faced by founders during the early stage when resources are a constraint and they do not have enough run-way to make the right connections with investors for funds, hence the genesis of this pitchathon to support them in the crucial phase of fund raising”.
