​India's next generation of AI companies won't emerge from pitch competitions. They'll be built through hundreds of product decisions, customer conversations, and founder debates.

Caravan '26 is where many of those conversations happen.

Now in its fifth edition, Caravan brings together a curated cohort of around 80 India-origin founders building AI-native and AI-powered companies for the US market. Every founder is individually reviewed and selected based on the strength of their product, market signals, and ambition to build globally.

The VC / Angel Pass is designed to give investors meaningful access to this cohort. Not through a demo day or a pitch marathon, but through curated introductions, working sessions, and conversations that reveal how founders think long before the fundraising process begins.

​What to expect

• ​VCBridge: Structured one-on-one meetings with founders through a double opt-in process.

• ​Curated networking: Intentional introductions to founders, operators, and fellow investors.

• ​Select Caravan sessions: Observe founders working through product, positioning, and distribution challenges in real time.

• ​The conversations in between: Meals, coffee, walks, and the moments where the best relationships are often built.

​Who this pass is for

​VCs and angel investors actively backing early-stage AI companies and looking to build relationships with ambitious India-origin founders before the rest of the market catches on.

​Passes are limited and by invitation.
