"Dear Aviral, Thank you for the opportunity and for the kind words regarding Riitii. I'm excited to share that I've submitted the Round 2 application for your review. I must say, this has been the best experience I've had so far in terms of funding opportunities. The speed and personalization of the reply were truly remarkable. It's clear that a great deal of attention to detail and sincerity went into executing this process, and your thoughtful feedback and swift turnaround times have made it stand out."

"Our team was among the 1,000 startups that applied for this cohort, and we want to give a shout-out to the ajvc team for making the process seamless . While we didn't make the cut this time, we genuinely appreciate the team's openness to hearing from founders at every stage, even before incorporation! The experience of ~3 min application left a strong impression. Looking forward to talking to you in 6 months Aviral :) cheers."
