🎉 Exciting Highlights from the 3-Day Angel Masterclass Program! 🎉 Hosted under the SIDBI cluster intervention program at AISSMS Institute of Information Technology College of Engineering, Pune, this masterclass was a collaborative effort by ISBA and FundEnable. From July 22nd to 24th, 2024, we delved into critical skills in startup investment and capital-raising strategies, tailored specifically for Incubation CEOs and Managers. Here are some highlights: Day 1: Led by Vikrant Potnis, we explored the essential role of incubation managers in supporting startups through their fundraising journey. Highlights included the FundAbility Matrix exercise and an engaging Mock Pitch by a startup. Day 2: Focused on understanding founder expectations, valuation methodologies, and real-world case studies on deal structuring. Day 3: Covered navigating standard termsheets, post-funding compliance structures, creating robust exit plans, and the meticulous process of due diligence before investing. A special thanks to ISBA Governing Body Member and MAGIC Business Incubator SME Accelerator Director Ashish Garde for his active participation and to the KPMG Pune Office Team for coordinating this insightful program. .
