Fundraising Masterclass by Akshi Mehta Goyal (Co-Founder, Peppertree) & Aditya Bajaj (Director, InCred Capital)

​Akshi Mehta Goyal, Co-Founder of Peppertree, and Aditya Bajaj, Director at InCred Capital, bring deep experience in structuring and closing growth-stage transactions across sectors. With a sharp understanding of how institutional capital evaluates risk, governance, and scalability, they offer founders a real-world view of what it takes to raise smart capital—not just secure a term sheet.

​This session will decode the language of fundraising and walk founders through the realities beyond the pitch—covering investor expectations, term sheet awareness, valuation discipline, due diligence readiness, and the common red flags that break deals. Designed specifically for early-stage startups, this masterclass will bridge the gap between being pitch-ready and being investment-ready.
