Pod World

POD is a Bengaluru-based fundraising platform. Founded by Vittal Ramakrishna and backed by Elina Investments, the platform aspires to nurture a healthy ecosystem for investing and fundraising.

POD connects promising startups with Angel investors, HNIs and VCs among others. All startups are vetted by their in-house market research specialists before presenting to our signed up investors. After the clearance from the market research specialists, the startups are given the chance to make their business pitch to potential investors. And if the investors find potential in the startup, they can choose to invest in them in return for equity on the platform itself.

The minimum amount one can invest through POD is ₹20,000/-.

POD lists only promising and fully vetted startups from verticals ranging across Tech, Fintech, Social Entrepreneurship, Lifestyle and even those offering SaaS. Startups need to be in existence for at least 6 months and show significant month over month growth to fall in the initial listing criteria on POD.
