At #HuddleGlobal2024 by Kerala Startup Mission Tina Joseph COO of Venture Way, had the pleasure of moderating a panel discussion on "Identifying the Future Unicorn to Invest in Today: Major Areas Early Stage Investors Look Into a Startup." The session featured an outstanding panel of industry experts: Archana Priyadarshini – Partner at Endurance Capital Sherif Kottapurath – Managing Partner at Mount Judi Ventures Ventures Rajeev Suri – Founding Partner at BlueGreen Ventures Krishnan Neelakantan – Managing Partner at Ankur Capital Key Takeaway: Early-stage investors prioritize founders who demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of their market. Founding a startup is not just about an initial burst of energy; it’s about sustaining momentum and navigating challenges with grit and vision—like running a marathon, not just a sprint.

On the 28th, 29th and 30th of October, I was at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, one of the valley’s most prominent startup events. Exactly a month later, on the 28th, 29th and 30th of November, I was at Huddle Global, one of Kerala’s most prominent startup ecosystem events. I’m so incredibly proud to note that in terms of scale, energy, passion, excitement and many other factors, including the commitment of different stakeholders and the organizers themselves, the event in my tiny home state in India, seemed to at least match up to, if not out-do, the one in the capital of the world startup ecosystem. Of course the valley has a lot of strengths and legacy advantages that most ecosystems in the emerging world do not. But at the rate at which we are growing, I do believe the level playing field for founders across the world, that Venture Way is working towards, can be a reality sooner than expected.
