Introduction :-
At Kadel Ventures, we guide you through every step of the startup journey. If your idea is selected, you will receive not only investment but also operational and strategic support to help you scale your business efficiently. Here’s a detailed look at what happens next:
1.) Pitch Selection and Notification :-
Once your idea is selected from our pitching process, you’ll receive a notification about moving forward. We evaluate ideas based on their potential for innovation, scalability, and fit with our focus on Generative AI (SaaS solutions) and Aerospace Technologies (defense, satellite communications, UAVs).
- What we evaluate: Scalability, technology fit, and market potential.
- Notification: If selected, you’ll be informed and proceed to the next stage.
2.) 1-Month Mentorship Program (Pre-Investment Phase) :-
Before full commitment, you will go through a 1-month mentorship program designed to evaluate your idea’s feasibility and prepare you for the next steps. During this phase, you’ll work closely with mentors and Kadel Ventures’ team to refine your business model, product strategy, and leadership approach. Key Objectives:
- Define clear milestones for your startup.
- Assess the feasibility and scalability of your idea.
- Refine your business model.
- No-Go Milestone: At the end of this mentorship phase, a decision will be made based on your startup’s progress and readiness. If your idea doesn’t meet the required milestones, this is a potential no-go point, meaning the process could halt here.
3.) Logistics and Company Creation :-
If the mentorship program is successful, we move forward with setting up your startup as a legal entity. Kadel Ventures ensures that all compliance and legal formalities are handled efficiently. Steps:
- Company registration (as a separate legal entity).
- Setting up logistics such as HR, payroll, and initial operations.
- Complying with all government regulations.
Your startup will be registered in either India or the US, depending on investor preferences and the nature of your business. This stage also formalizes the equity distribution.
4.) Securing Quarterly Commitments from Investors :-
Once your company is registered, investor commitments are secured. Investors from our closed network will commit to funding your startup on a quarterly basis, ensuring steady cash flow for operations and product development.
- Commitment Structure: Investors commit to providing funds on a quarterly basis rather than upfront, helping you manage cash flow efficiently.
- Equity Allocation: Investors receive equity based on their commitment, formalized during startup registration / startup valuation.
5.) Meet Your Portfolio Delivery Manager :-
Once funding is secured, you’ll be introduced to your Portfolio Delivery Manager, who will serve as your point of contact for all strategic and operational needs. They will guide you in executing your vision and reaching critical milestones. Role of the Portfolio Delivery Manager:
- Oversee the overall progress of your startup.
- Assist with setting and achieving key operational goals.
- Liaise between you and the investors, ensuring alignment on expectations.
6.) Introduction to Kadel Labs :-
With your Portfolio Delivery Manager in place, you will be introduced to the Kadel Labs team, who will handle all technical and product development for your startup. Kadel Labs provides low-cost, high-quality development services, ensuring that your startup can build and scale efficiently. What to Expect:
- Product Development: Kadel Labs will develop your product from concept to execution.
- Technical Support: Infrastructure, cloud deployment, and integration with AI for SaaS or Aerospace solutions.
- Iterative Process: Regular development updates and adjustments based on feedback.
This allows you, as the founder, to focus on leadership and strategy while Kadel Labs manages the technical execution.
7.) Get Started: Execute, Build, and Scale :-
Once the team is in place and development begins, your journey officially starts. You’ll work closely with Kadel Labs, your Portfolio Delivery Manager, and investors to hit key milestones, grow your product, and scale into new markets.
- Execution Phase: Begin product development, iterate based on early feedback, and start preparing for market entry.
- Investor Check-ins: Regular updates and quarterly meetings with investors to track progress.
- Next Milestones: After 12-24 months, the next round of funding is initiated to scale further.
Conclusion :-
At Kadel Ventures, we provide a structured, step-by-step approach to ensure your startup is set up for success. From pitch selection to the 1-month mentorship program, company creation, and working with your delivery manager and Kadel Labs, you’ll have all the support needed to grow your business efficiently and sustainably.
