From Operator to Founder: The Venture Leap

A curated evening by Women in Product India × M Venture Partners

An intimate, high-signal gathering bringing together women founders, senior operators, and venture capital leaders shaping the next generation of startups in India.

This is not another investor-heavy panel or networking mixer. The Venture Leap is designed to create honest, founder-first conversations around what it really takes to go from operator to builder and how the venture ecosystem can better support women building ambitious companies.

The room will include:

  • Early-stage women founders navigating growth, fundraising, and scale

  • Senior women leaders across product and engineering exploring entrepreneurship

  • Venture capitalists actively backing the next generation of category-defining founders

  • Select startup operators interested in joining early-stage companies

The discussion will explore:

  • The realities of fundraising and building as a female founder

  • Moving from senior corporate roles into entrepreneurship

  • How operators can position themselves for venture-scale opportunities

  • Why categories once dismissed as “soft”, women’s health, maternity, home, care, community are becoming some of the most meaningful venture opportunities today

  • What investors are actually looking for in early-stage founders and emerging markets

Expect a focused talks featuring founders, operators, and investors with real operating experience followed by candid audience conversations and informal networking over refreshments.

This is a room built for meaningful connections between builders and backers with the goal of creating more women-led venture stories in India.
