Proven Results
Case Studies
HealthTech Startup — Seed Round (Pre-Revenue to Rs 2 Cr ARR)
Challenge
Two first-time founders with a health-tech product had a working MVP and 200 beta users but no company incorporation, no financial model, and no understanding of fundraising mechanics. They had verbal interest from 2 angel investors but didn't know how to structure the round, what valuation to seek, or how to handle DPIIT registration and angel tax implications.
Our Solution
Incorporated a Pvt Ltd company with founder-friendly articles and SHA. Obtained DPIIT recognition and Startup India registration. Built a financial model with user growth projections, unit economics, and 3-year P&L forecast. Prepared a data room with all incorporation documents, compliances, and financial projections. Guided founders through SAFE note vs priced round trade-offs and helped structure the seed round.
Result
Raised Rs 1.5 crore seed round from 4 angel investors using CCPS (Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares) at a Rs 8 crore pre-money valuation. Angel tax exemption obtained under the DPIIT notification. Company went from no entity to funded startup in 10 weeks. Founders subsequently reached Rs 2 crore ARR within 12 months and are now preparing for Pre-Series A.
AgriTech Company — Pre-Series A (Rs 5 Cr Revenue)
Challenge
An agri-tech company connecting farmers to buyers had Rs 5 crore revenue but complex unit economics (commission-based with logistics costs). Their previous CA had filed basic returns but never prepared investor-grade financials. The company needed to raise Rs 10 crore Pre-Series A but couldn't clearly articulate their financial story to investors — gross margin, contribution margin, and burn were not properly tracked.
Our Solution
Restructured the chart of accounts to capture unit economics at a transaction level. Built a detailed financial model showing marketplace economics — GMV, take rate, logistics cost per transaction, contribution margin per farmer, and cohort-level retention. Prepared 2 years of restated financials with proper revenue recognition. Managed the complete fundraise data room and supported founder calls with 6 investors.
Result
Raised Rs 8 crore (slightly below target) from a sector-focused VC fund at a Rs 30 crore pre-money valuation. The financial model and unit economics presentation were specifically cited by the investor as a key factor in their decision. Due diligence completed in 12 working days. ESOP pool of 8% was structured as part of the round.
