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.
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.
