Startup funding is not what most people think it is.
And a VC from one of India’s top venture funds is telling you why.

In Episode 2 of Before College, we sit down with Sajith Pai, VC at Blume Ventures, for a brutally honest conversation about how startup funding actually works in India—and what most founders completely misunderstand about it.

Sajith breaks down the real journey from idea to funding, what VCs truly look for in founders, and why most startup pitches fail long before money is even discussed. He also explains why obsession, clarity, and execution matter far more than college degrees, perfect English, or fancy pitch decks.

This episode goes deep into:
•⁠ ⁠How startups really move from idea to funding
•⁠ ⁠What VCs actually look for in student and first-time founders
•⁠ ⁠Why most startup ideas never get funded
•⁠ ⁠Common mistakes founders make while pitching investors
•⁠ ⁠The reality of life as a VC beyond money and glamour
•⁠ ⁠Why young students should think carefully before choosing career paths

If you’re a student, aspiring founder, early-stage entrepreneur, or someone curious about venture capital, this episode will change how you think about startups, funding, and building something meaningful—before college.
