The problem

Good startups fail on access, not on merit

The discovery gap

The Indian funding ecosystem is fragmented across 11+ distinct sources — government schemes buried in portals, angel networks that never answer cold emails, family offices that don't advertise. Founders waste months chasing the wrong doors while the right scheme closes its window.

We map every door, so you knock on the right ones.

The predator layer

Advance-fee fraud consultants promise funding, then demand “processing fees”, “refundable deposits” or “investor database access” — and vanish. SEBI and MCA regularly warn about these rings. Founders who can least afford it lose lakhs and months.

We flag them before you pay them a rupee.

Visit the Trust Center

Rules engine

Every listing is screened by an automated anti-fraud ruleset — upfront fees, guaranteed outcomes, missing registration and pressure tactics all score against your safety.

Verification badges

Verified listings disclose their fee model and registration. Flagged listings carry explicit red-flag warnings that the matching engine also downgrades.

Community watchlist

Founders anonymously report consultants. Confirmed patterns go public on the Trust Center so the next founder never pays a con artist.

Phrases that should end the call

“guaranteed funding / 100% approval”
Legitimate funders never guarantee outcomes — capital is risk capital.
“processing / application fee”
Genuine funders and most grant bodies make money from the deal, not from applicants.
“refundable security deposit”
Refundable deposits to access funders are a hallmark of advance-fee fraud.
“limited slots / act now”
Scams manufacture urgency to short-circuit your due diligence.
“pay to unlock your investor list”
Selling access to 'investor databases' is not fundraising advisory.
“third-party escrow/valuation fee”
A consultant routing you to a 'mandatory' paid third-party is often a kickback scheme.

Full checklist, registration lookup guide and the community watchlist live in the Trust Center.

Founders

The people we build this for

I wasted four months and ₹2.4 lakh on a consultant who promised 'investor introductions'. Funding AI flagged the same pattern in a week — and pointed me to SISFS, which actually funded us.

Ritika P.

Co-founder, healthtech · Pune

We assumed we were 'too early' for funding. The explorer showed us NIDHI PRAYAS and an agri incubator we'd never heard of. Prototype grant approved in three months.

Suresh K.

Founder, agritech · Coimbatore

The pitch readiness score hurt — and that's the point. We fixed our financial model, then closed our first angel round. No success fee, no paid advisors needed.
