For founders in Bengaluru

Warm introductions with the right people every quarter.

How an introduction happens

You say what you need. Ron makes sure it lands.

No cold outreach, and nothing is sent from your account without your approval. Every introduction is a double opt-in: both sides say yes before Ron makes it.

Ron sharpens your ask

You get a sharp, investor-facing one-pager, written so the specific investor or buyer can say yes. You see the before and after, and why.

Ron's desk in action

The same founder, the same company, a different answer.

Most asks fail because they ask the right person for the wrong thing. Here is Ron's desk in action: one ask, before and after Ron reads it.

Before
"Hi, we're a climate tech start-up disrupting carbon accounting with AI. Would love to connect and explore synergies. We're raising our seed round."
After Ron
"We help mid-size manufacturers file their sustainability reports in 2 weeks instead of 3 months. We have 14 paying customers in Pune. We're raising a seed round to expand to auto-component suppliers in Chennai, and your fund has already backed 2 companies that sell to them. Would a 20-minute call in the next fortnight be useful?"

An illustrative example, not a member's request.

Will I meet an investor in my first month?
Not necessarily. The first quarter builds your pathway. Ron promises the work and tells you honestly when an ask is not ready yet.
