The guidance
Mentors Circle
Operators who have built and sold companies, matched to founders by sector and stage rather than by availability.
How it works
Matched, not assigned
By sector and stage, against what the founder actually needs next.
Three engagement levels
Advisor, Sessional or Programme Mentor — pick the load that fits.
Real hours
From two hours a month upward. We would rather have two real than ten nominal.
Compounding
Mentors meet each other. The circle is worth as much as the mentees.
The other three
Startup Championship
The proving ground
A national competition that surfaces India’s strongest early-stage teams and puts them in front of the people who can fund and build with them.
ExploreVenture Alliance
The capital
A syndicate of angels, funds and family offices who see vetted dealflow first — with the diligence already done.
ExploreFounders Network
The company
The peer group that outlasts the programme. Founders who are eighteen months ahead of you, and eighteen months behind.
