Ravi Bharadwaj

"Hi Aviral, appreciate the feedback and the update. That's easily the longest rejection email I have received. Will keep you posted."

Akaankshaa Paranjpe

"Dear Aviral, A big thank you at the outset for the AJVC process and for evaluating Sacred Grove for the cohort. As a customer of your VC business, I'd like to congratulate you for solving the key pain points: timeliness of response, articulating the WHY for Yes/No and an inherent genuine respect for the entrepreneur. Just by virtue of how well the process is designed, making it this far gives me the confidence that we're on the right track; building something special albeit some tweaks and pivots. The detailed feedback was extremely helpful and I truly appreciate your time to articulate the Why."

Pushkar Kumar

"Hi Aviral, thank you for the opportunity to apply for the fund. I really appreciate AJVC's commitment to being approachable and efficient. Your focus on saving time for founders and providing quick responses is super helpful, and the depth of questions on mission and vision really stood out to me."

Satyam Kesari

"Dear Aviral, Thank you for the opportunity and for the kind words regarding Riitii. I'm excited to share that I've submitted the Round 2 application for your review. I must say, this has been the best experience I've had so far in terms of funding opportunities. The speed and personalization of the reply were truly remarkable. It's clear that a great deal of attention to detail and sincerity went into executing this process, and your thoughtful feedback and swift turnaround times have made it stand out."

Bhavesh Kotwani

"Hi Aviral, Thanks for getting back to us. Usually, we don't give rejection emails much attention, as most are just generic templates. However, I'd like to reply on behalf of the CallPrep team. All three of us were impressed by the critical feedback we received from just one conversation and the initiatives you have taken to save our time throughout the evaluation process."

Viraj Kulkarni

"Hi Aviral, I don't know if you will read this and whether I will get a chance to speak with you in the next round. I want to take this moment to thank you and tell you that this was an incredible experience for me as a founder. The quick response for the first form and the detailed questions for the second form which make you feel heard are refreshingly delightful. I wish you the very best!"
