Why list here
What founders actually get for ₹3,000/yr.
In front of NRI capital
Listed where NRI angels already read for India tax / FEMA / GIFT City content. Investor-side traffic is the asset. You don't pay to be found on AngelList — but you're one of thousands. Here you're one of fifty.
Editorial score, not a star rating
Each listing scored on 8 factors — team, market, capital efficiency, moat, regulatory, distribution, founder reputation, exit path. Same framework that called Byju's RED 3 years before collapse. Investors trust the score because it can't be bought.
Zero paid placement, ever
The independent score (separate $500 Tier-3 product) returns RED / AMBER / GREEN based on the framework — whatever the math says. No founder can pay to influence their own score. That's the moat — and why a good score here means something.
Priced for early-stage
₹3,000/yr early-bird (first 50 founders, locked in for life). Standard ₹6,000/yr after. For comparison: Tracxn ~₹25K/yr, Crunchbase Pro ~$99/mo, AngelList founder placements sales-gated. Investor side stays free forever.
Two ways to engage
Score yourself first, or list directly.
Most founders score themselves first to see where the framework puts them. Then list when ready. Both free to start.

AK
I'm an active angel investor in Indian startups myself. Built this directory because every NRI angel I know has the same complaint — Indian deal flow is hard to source cleanly, and most "directories" are pay-to-be-featured. Editorial integrity is the only moat. That's why founders pay to be listed, but no founder can pay to influence their score. Investor side is free, forever.
