Genius Incubator’s mission: We help entrepreneurs and young companies from India access international capital for their growth plans. Companies in the early growth cycle in India have traditionally sought funding from local sources, but have been hampered by the absence of an effective eco-system of angel investors. We bridge the gap by providing access to the international community of experienced investors who can provide funding as well as guidance and vision for these companies. The event is on the 11th and 12th November at The Taj President, Mumbai.
On the first day, prominent Indian VCs present their views on popular investment sectors: Mobile, Technology, Education, Healthcare, Consumer, Social Enterprise and an overview of early-stage investment landscape in India . Day 1 is open to all professionals, investors and entrepreneurs interested in learning about the opportunities presented by India in the next decade.
On Day 2, Smart Money and Genius Ideas showcase will present 16 pre-screened investment opportunities to angel investors, VCs and H N WIs in an exclusive private setting. These 16 companies are together seeking to raise capital to the tune of GBP10 million. If you are looking to meet the best early and growth stage entrepreneurs in India , and to familiarise yourself with the investing environment in India, this is the perfect platform for you to directly interact face to face with creme-de-la-creme entrepreneurs and other investors!
