India | June 2026: Ideabaaz, India’s startup discovery and growth ecosystem, and BeyondSeed, a global investment and venture platform, have announced the launch of IdeabaazBeyondSeed100 — a ₹100 Crore Startup Investment Initiative designed to create a dedicated pathway for promising founders to access capital, mentorship, investor networks, and growth opportunities.
The initiative was unveiled during the BeyondXcelerate Pitch Day at the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Mumbai, where founders, investors including Arjun Vaidya, and ecosystem leaders came together to celebrate entrepreneurship and innovation.
Through IdeabaazBeyondSeed100, the two organisations will facilitate investments via a structured platform that connects leading investors from India and global markets to support the country’s most promising startups.
