Mentors

At The StartUp Mitra, we believe that funding alone doesn’t define success, it’s the right guidance, network, and strategic direction that truly shape a startup’s journey. Our mentors are seasoned leaders who bring decades of cross-industry expertise, having built, scaled, and advised some of the most impactful businesses in India and beyond. With deep knowledge in fundraising, brand building, digital innovation, and market strategy, they walk alongside founders to ensure they are not only investor-ready but also equipped for sustainable, long-term growth. Together, our mentors empower entrepreneurs to make smarter decisions, avoid costly pitfalls, and unlock opportunities that accelerate both vision and value creation.

Advisors

Behind every successful funding round lies a series of right choices. From structuring the pitch to refining business models and aligning with investor expectations. At The StartUp Mitra, our Advisors are experienced professionals who specialize in guiding founders on what it truly takes to secure investment and scale effectively. We work closely with startups to:
  • Strengthen their fundraising strategy
  • Refine their go-to-market approach
  • Build investor-ready financial and operational models
  • Leverage TSM’s platform for networking, visibility, and growth
By blending practical industry knowledge with a founder-first approach, our Advisors ensure that every startup entering the ecosystem maximizes its chances of success. And we are not helping you in just raising funds, but also in building a resilient and scalable business.
