Our General Partner Rohit Krishna authored an article in ET Edge Insights on startup valuations. The article is a good primer for someone looking to understand how startup valuations are decided through various stages of the startup life cycle and the factors influencing them. It also provides insights into what aspects retail investors should look for while evaluating startup valuations. Link to the article - https://lnkd.in/dhZAb5k5

WEH Ventures reposted this
A couple of days ago WEH Ventures hosted an event for founders and operators in the Consumer Tech space along with All In Capital. Despite heavy rains we had over 60 attendees, most of them being founders building in social media, health & fitness, commerce etc. This was the first event of this kind for us and we tried a lot of new ideas to make the event as interactive and relevant for the audience as we could. Big shout out to Farid Ahsan, Prashant Sachan Saurabh Pandey for generously sharing their time and experience with the group. We're really excited about the potential for Consumer Tech start-ups in India and would love to hear from you if you're building in the space.

Calling all founders in the consumer tech space! We've got an exciting event coming up next week (8th July, 5:30PM onwards) in Bangalore along with All In Capital.

See you there! Deepak Gupta Rohit Krishna Ritik Rustagi Gautam Ravi
We don't do events & mixers a lot, but when we do we kinda want it to count. Building any startup is hard, but what we've realised over the last 9 years is building something in consumer tech (social/content/gaming/commerce) is harder than most categories. As a founder you most probably start with a MVP & start acquiring users, but VCs want retention. When you have well retained users on your product, the goal post shifts to monetisation. Then you start monetising then you realise at this scale the valuation is not justified, so the conversation breaks down again. The goal of this event is to help founders in the 0 to 1 stage of building a consumer-tech product. We've got three amazing founders of Sharechat, Elo Elo & AppsforBharat who have been building in this space for over 8 years. They've made a lot of mistakes along the way but have got some key elements right, that has guided their business to the right track. Since this is a closed, intimate session, expect to get some unfiltered thoughts. You can apply to be part of the event using the link below. If you feel this is not relevant for you, help us in spreading the word by tagging anyone you know who is building or looking to build in consumer-tech. #consumertech #startup #event #bengaluru

Some comments from our General Partner Deepak Gupta in the Financial Express (India) on the venture funding environment. If and when funding levels pickup. Too much of a good thing is not necessarily a good thing

Continuing with our series of startups solving India-specific problems in this edition we cover Porter- which has cracked the problem of intra-city logistics with a focus on SMEs. When they started in 2014- most of the logistics action was focused on long-haul (where each trip is far more valuable). Meanwhile, within the city, the inefficiency was acute- with transporters barely getting 30% utilisation and SMEs (who drive the bulk of this demand) facing unreliable fulfilment. A hard nut to crack, but they did it- you see Porter trucks and mini-trucks everywhere. India has many such inefficiencies to solve for it takes tech and a lot more -grit, patience, and field ops. Porter is worth half a billion and might be a real unicorn in the medium term

Brands are in fashion. "Tech" VCs are all embracing brands as they begin to show serious scale and deeper exits markets make them a sector of interest, relative to others. Some thoughts from us on this segment. https://lnkd.in/d9WaUFPQ

"Made in India - Interesting Startup Stories" Did you know that Meesho initially started as Fashnear, connecting consumers with local fashion delivery similar to Swiggy or Zomato for restaurants before they pivoted to the reseller model Meesho started in 2015 when Amazon and Flipkart were already established players but has been able to create a niche for themselves by offering affordable products catering to people in T2 and T3 cities specifically from small sellers, a gap which was not being addressed by the incumbents This is our second post in our new series, covering unique startups from India, who have built products/ services focusing on India-first problems.
