Held at the prestigious Bharat Mandapam, the summit brought together over 30 founders from Favcy VB’s portfolio, 150+ VCs and investors, and key industry stakeholders. The event sparked transformative conversations, setting the stage for the next phase of India’s startup ecosystem.
With the presence of renowned VCs and family offices such as AWE Funds, Stanford Alumni Fund, She Capital, Anay Ventures, and Vineeta Surana Family Office, along with angel investors from 1stCheque network and government dignitaries from MeitY, iStart Rajasthan, and other organizations, the summit showcased Favcy VB’s critical role in empowering over 10,000 founders.
Venture Building: The Next Big Shift in India’s Startup Landscape
Globally, the venture-building model has been gaining traction, with companies like Rocket Internet, Atomic, and eFounders leading the way. In India, Favcy VB has pioneered this approach, helping transform high-potential ideas into scalable, investor-ready businesses.
“The next unicorns won’t just be discovered—they’ll be built,” said Pranav Chaturvedi, Founding Partner & MD of Favcy VB. “Over the past decade, we’ve refined venture building into a science, ensuring startups have a strong foundation from day one. This is the future of entrepreneurship.”
