I really like the format of a detailed application to replace the need for us to do multiple back and forth conversations.
K.Prithvi Sai
The process has been eye opening, I never knew something like a P & L document existed before you asked for it, working on it opened up a whole new perspective, thanks for including it in the application process.
Sacred Grove

Sumit Jadhav
It is extremely exciting to see such a well thought and executed tech driven approach to funding. Lots of inspiration I have received from you and seek to learn going forward.
