Well here’s an attempt: The people with the money in India, the ones all the startups want to know, but are harder to contact than aliens in outerspace. Don’t stress, just having a more humrous moment, VC’s, seed fund, angels, call them what you want, they have one thing you need, money…but here’s the catch you have something they need…an idea. Yup all the guys above only make money from their money if they have good ideas. They are desparate for them, if they are not, then they aren’t really in it for the money.
Below I’ve tried to start compiling a list of the these people, with names and contact details. If there are others out there, just add a comment. Please note I am focussing only on those who invest in dotcoms, or mobile apps. Not really interested in retail, bio, pharma…doesn’t really do it for moi
