Venture Capitalist, Go East (Preferably India)

Did you know outside Silicon Valley, Bangalore in India is probably the most active startup hub. Yet, there’s one missing element. Funding. Where are all the venture capitalists?

As we continue to build PITCHPROCESS, we keep bumping into startups who are looking for funding. Unfortunately, startups generally don’t have money so they’re not our target audience. Sorry.

But during a longtail keyword research experiment for “finding investors”, we came across the most interesting of search terms, repeatedly. The one thing you can make out of it is… (well, skim through and try not to see it).

And if that doesn’t jump out to you, let me spell it out. There’s a HUGE demand for venture capital funding in India. Startups are short on cash, hungry (for growth) and just looking for capital to push them forward.

Where are all the venture capitalists?

Good question, they’re not quite there yet. They never will be for some time, because they don’t understand India. So they won’t “venture out” so to speak. By the time they reach the shores of India, it will be too late.
