Why We Built the Room

There are founders in Tier 2 cities as good as anyone in Chennai or Bangalore — working just as hard, with an idea just as good. What they don’t have is easy access to a room full of investors, the thing a metro founder barely thinks about. The talent was never the problem. The access was. We’re closing that gap over a single weekend.
