Launching 'Catapult programme' by Malpani Ventures
At Malpani Ventures, we understand the numerous challenges faced by a startup founder and believe that access to funding should not be a time-consuming hassle.
We launched our MVP programme in 2022 to provide an accelerated funding pathway for pre-seed stage companies
Today’s macro-environment has resulted in several startups being unable to raise a follow-on round, as investors have become reluctant to bet large sums without adequate traction. Our Catapult programme offers a unique opportunity for such startups.
Launching - Catapult, an accelerated funding programme, designed specifically for companies that have made significant progress but are not yet at the stage where larger investors are interested.
We are backing ALL THINGS B2B!
We intend to deploy capital worth $300k to $500k in exchange for 5% to 10% equity in seed-stage companies!

The Sane View, by Dhruv Sane
Building B2B startups in India
