Who We Are

We are Ex‑Venture, a global startup accelerator built on a simple but radical promise: founders should grow without giving up their dreams or their equity.

From Berlin to Bali and now to India, we have supported hundreds of startups with non‑dilutive capital, AI‑powered execution tools, and mentorship that truly cares. We believe the next wave of world‑changing companies will rise from India’s streets, dorm rooms, and co‑working spaces driven by young visionaries who deserve a funding model that keeps them in control.

At Ex‑Venture India, we’re not just building startups. We’re building founders who never compromise their ownership or their ambition.

Our Vision

To ignite a generation of Indian founders who build boldly, own fully, and transform industries without losing what they’ve built. We dream of an India where every college student with an idea, every techie with a side hustle, every dreamer in a Tier‑2 city has equitable access to world‑class resources, funding, and execution support. Our vision is simple: a diverse India, where Deep Tech breakthroughs, startup IPOs, and global unicorns emerge not just from metros but from every corner of this incredible country. We exist to ensure that no Indian founder ever gives away more than they should and that every dream gets the runway it deserves.

Why It Matters

In India, too many brilliant founders give away too much, too early. Promising ideas get lost in paperwork, valuations, and shareholding battles.

We’re here to change that, to show that the best way to back founders is to let them keep control, build fast, and focus on what really matters: impact. Every startup that scales with Ex‑Venture India adds new jobs, inspires new students, uplifts new communities, and contributes directly to India’s growth story. Because when a founder keeps more of their company, they build more for their country. And when young Indians see what’s possible, they become the founders, builders, and innovators the world looks up to.
