“When a startup is at seed stage, investors work on credibility of the founder and not just the startup model. If a founder is seeking financial support and has rapport in founders’ community, it becomes easier to arrange funds. We Founder Circle has only become more relevant during the current unprecedented times. Due to pandemic funds have gone dry and startup community has come to a standstill. It is the time when things can only recover with mutual support. Hence, we are working on founders-backing-founders model to refuel the community. We have already closed 8 deals in just 100 days of operations which proves that the model is the need of the hour,” said Mr. Neeraj Tyagi- CEO & Founder, WeFounder Circle.

The platform is already in aggressive talks with over 30 startups and aims at going on a funding spree in the first half of 2021.
