We've enjoyed being part of the process- it's been incredibly well-organized and thoughtful. The P&L exercise, in particular, helped us strengthen our planning muscle. It's rare to find a diligence process that is both rigorous and founder friendly, and we've genuinely appreciated it.
Kashyap Bhatt
Firstly, I loved the entire process. To the point, quick, and personalized. You are changing the VC space. AJVC has a new fan. Secondly, thank you for finding value in Naya Pannah. A small win for us.
Bhavesh Kotwani
Thanks for getting back to us. Usually, we don't give rejection emails much attention, as most are just generic templates. However, I'd like to say that all three of us were impressed by the critical feedback we received from just one conversation and the initiatives you have taken to save our time throughout the evaluation process.
Shubham
Thank you for a prompt reply. A very few firms adhere to what they write in their website, but your promise of a reply within 48 hours has been demonstrated.
