Crew Capital's #TipOfTheWeek 💡on the power of long-term goals in building a startup with Durga P Pandey, Co-founder and CEO of Subskribe "Founders need to focus on the bigger picture to thrive in the tumultuous startup landscape. There’s the day-to-day motivation, and then there’s the long-term. Financial outcomes by themselves are not motivating enough over a long period of time. You have to really like the problem space and you have to enjoy building a startup." 📍Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dcwVgXm4 #advice #founder #success #startup #growth #mindset #motiavion #entrepreneur #strategy #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #startuplife #ceo #tech #scaling

Co-lead a workshop (with Sumathi my business partner and Komal lath of Tute Consult) on branding and communication and why/how its' strategic & important for the portfolio companies of an early stage growth focused PE fund in Mumbai this noon. very interactive session. lots of takeaways. one of the biggest benefits of doing such workshops with founders and CXOs of growth companies is that you get to first hand understand their pain points and priorities. which makes you realize there is a long road ahead laden with great opportunity for those in PR & comms if we take off our hats and look at it from their perspective.

Kreedo secures Rs 10 Cr debt funding from Recur Club: Edtech platform Kreedo Early Childhood Solutions has secured Rs 10 crore in debt funding from Recur Club, a prominent debt marketplace for startups and SMEs.  Kreedo had previously raised $4 million in Series A funding from Heritas Capital and UBS Optimus Foundation to enhance learning ecosystems. The proceeds will be deployed towards fuelling its growth and expansion plans, enhancing product offerings and scaling operations across India, Kreedo said in a press release. Co-founded in 2012 by Mridula Shridhar and Manikandan Krishnan, Kreedo provides a non-franchise solution for preschools and schools in India. Its curriculum is designed to help children develop literacy, numeracy, and other skills through play-based activities. The platform's curriculum is based on the idea that children learn best through a "Concrete to Abstract" or "Practical to Theory" approach. The curriculum combines indoor and outdoor games and toys to help children learn to explore and develop skills. According to the Bengaluru-based company, it focuses on improving education in over 350,000 affordable private schools across India, which cater to low-income families and charge less than Rs 30,000 annually. The company claims that it has demonstrated an impressive revenue growth rate of over 35% year-on-year for the past three consecutive years.  “It has been a pleasure working with Manikandan and witnessing Kreedo’s incredible growth journey over the past couple of years. Their intelligent approach to capital management has enabled them to hyperscale effectively while preserving significant equity.” said Eklavya Gupta, co-founder & CEO of Recur Club. Kreedo may compete directly or indirectly with other companies in this space are Kinderly, Seed Schools, Sudiksha Knowledge Solutions, Blue Blocks, Hello Kids amongst others.  Recur Club is a capital platform, enabling companies to raise debt capital tailored to their business needs with a dedicated capital expert. The platform aims to deploy Rs 2,000 crore in debt funding for startups and SMEs through Recur Scale and Rs 1000 crore to MSMEs through Recur Swift in this financial year.
