Their views on what is and should be the ultimate dream of every start-up with the focus on creating wealth for every participant involved? Akshit got up early in the morning and looked up towards the clear sky during monsoon. He quickly packed up and went for a morning walk on Marine Drive situated near his rented apartment. He raised $20million from series B round for his startup last week. He is planning to shift into a new home soon. Akshit met his friend Laksh on Marine Drive after 5years and both were excited to share stories of raising funds with each other. This successful event conducted with BSE tells us all about it. He was shocked to hear that Laksh raised $30million funds without going through any funding rounds with investors. Laksh didn’t design pitch decks, 3-year business plan projections;he was never worried about the funding raising and the existing investors. Sarcastically Laksh said, ‘I never ran in a race like you, where my speed was set up in a term sheet i.e. written by me and my investors’. On the other side Laksh expressed joy for Akshit’s achievements. Laksh felt Akshit is a true genius who was able to succeed in every round of raising funds meeting investor expectations.
But that didn’t bring a smile on Akshit’s face. He was impatient to hear from Laksh about whether he could raise $30million without running around investors. Laksh smiled and said, ‘Do you know that you can list your startup on Bombay Stock Exchange?’Akshit was taken aback and said “I am not looking at an IPO exit at an early stage”. Laksh replied, ‘So you still want to run another race of raising funds?’ That’s why I said, ‘You’re a true genius, whereas I am not!’ Laksh opened a new world of fundraising to Akshit. It’s called ‘BSE Startups’, any startup founder can get his business listed once and raise funds forever just like other fortune 500 companies. Akshit was excited and wanted to learn more. That’s when Laksh introduced him to the event organized by CoKaCo & 10000StartupsIndia in association with NMM Securities & The Bombay Stock Exchange.
