Masterclass #4: Building Credible Relationships as a New Founder with Adrija Das
🎤 About this masterclass
Join us for Masterclass 4/5 with Adrija Das on Building Credible Relationships as a New Founder
Adrija is a two-time founder with first-hand experience of the 0→1 journey. Today she works as an impact fund manager, designing funds and programmes that help businesses remain profitable while creating measurable, lasting outcomes for people and the planet. She is also supporting impact-focused early stage companies as an Advisor and Angel investor.
This session is part of the founder preparation series leading up to Aspiring South Asian Founders Pitch to Angels - Hustle Games on 18 June.
For early-stage founders, you are the one everyone is counting on. Every conversation with a first hire, first investor, first customer, or first partner can become the start of a long relationship that snowballs into more. Therefore, doing your best is not an option. In this session, Adrija will offer practical tools and frameworks for making networking and relationship building a replicable process, rather than a black-box of chance.
🚀 Why to attend?
Learn practical tips, replicable processes on building trust with early customers, investors, partners, and team members.
