Fresh from the Zero Project Conference, we're reminded of the incredible innovators in our very own SEED Inclusivity cohort! ✨ Like SparshMind Innovations Pvt. Ltd., whose VR therapy helped a stroke patient move his hand for the first time in 4 years after just two weeks of treatment. If you haven't seen our Seedstars Sessions with HARI KRISHNAN M, it showcases exactly why we're passionate about supporting accessibility entrepreneurs who are transforming lives.

Sometimes, it looks like a group of #women in northern #Togo gathered around a table, co-creating solutions for their businesses. Sometimes, it’s a young student coding her very first product at a hackathon. Or an entrepreneur in her 60s pitching her digital business idea on a Demo Day stage — and inspiring everyone in the room. Just yesterday, Marilyn Fanyo shared her incredible journey leading the NanaTech pilot project in Togo — an initiative implemented by Seedstars to empower 1,500 women through digital tools and entrepreneurship. Beyond numbers, what stood out most was the energy, creativity, and determination of the women she worked with. Stories like these remind us that when you invest in women, you transform communities — and ultimately, nations. We’re proud to be part of this journey. More to come. #WomensDay #SeedstarsStories

Last week, Charlie Graham-Brown and Nataly Yousef from Seedstars International Ventures joined forces with PeerCapital to host an VC mixer in Bangalore—the first of many to come in India! 🇮🇳 The goal was to bring together early-stage investors beyond firm boundaries, fostering real peer connections in the ecosystem. And the energy in the room proved just that, community goes beyond org charts, it's about the people we surround ourselves with. A special shoutout to Joslin Jose & Rohit M A for helping with the perfect setup and making everything seamless. To all the VCs who joined despite the hectic schedules—thank you! This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to host more of these across India!
