Testimonials
Pranay Choudhry
Founder Actozen
www.actozen.com
I had an extensive and
comprehensive overview on
what a young start-‐up should
focus on to be investment-‐
ready. There were several
modules that we tend to
overlook when preparing to
raise funds and this course
definitely helped in bringing
those important points to light. I
would recommend it for any
entrepreneur who is new to this
domain"
Arun Sharma
CEO & Director
Mahaluxmi Industries
The sessions at iSEED were very
interactive and prodding -‐self
discovery and exploring newer ways
to access your venture ideas. The
essence of entrepreneurship is to
never give up and keep learning all
the time, which was instilled very
prominently by the Iseed faculty.
Jagrit Gupta
Founder eSAC
www.esac.in
I have done my MBA from one of
the top institutes of our country, so
before joining iSEED I used to
wonder what would be my learning
at the end of the course.
Fortunately, I learned what I always
missed in my entrepreneur career of
8 years. I got a chance to interact
with real successful entrepreneurs
and got exposed to a lot of case
studies pertaining to the Indian eco-‐
space. I would say I found answers
to so many questions which as an
entrepreneur nobody was able to
provide earlier.

Testimonials
Vikram Sharma
Director, SoluTree Tech Labs
I have enjoyed sharing time with mentors at iSEED. I appreciate-‐-‐
the enthusiasm that the iSEED team has as they work with the
budding entrepreneurs. iSEED mentors bring with them new ideas,
an eagerness to help entrepreneurs, and a deep rooted desire to
strive for excellence.
During the program iSEED gave us enough opportunities to
connect with other people who have been part of the
entrepreneurship eco-‐system for a very long period of time. iSEED
team constitutes practitioners with extensive years of experience
from various industries. Each session in PREP was a practical
learning session. Giving real insights into how to create business
plans, how to form teams, best co-‐founder selection, investor
readiness etc.
Another great thing about the program was one on one session
with mentors, which helped us get direct venture specific
guidance.I would love to always be associated with iSEED and
be part of more programs moving forward.
Saurabh Srivastav 
www.oges.info
"I would like to thank iSEED for educating me in shaping up
Oges's idea for investors which gave me confidence for
investment raising.
We managed to close investment from first presentation to
final commitment in only 45 days. ‘Oges’ has generated
plenty of interest, especially within the oil and gas
community. Investors from 4 continents with diverse
experience feel that this product is required in their area.
We are fortunate to have raised 3 times our initial
requirement increasing our proposed initial scope of work.
During this round we have taken money only from people
whom we felt would help growing the business or help in
making a better product.
iSEED program has given me tremendous confidence, as we
now feel that we do have product with a sound business
sense.
