5 Crore Funding On Unstop! Why Shark Tank When The Ocean Awaits You

Imagine Shark Tank. The lights are bright, the Sharks are listening, and you are pitching your heart out. But what if you didn't have to wait for that one big moment? What if you could access that same level of opportunity, that same chance to launch your dream right now?

A recent episode of Shark Tank India’s Campus Special featured Meet Deore, the 16-year-old founder of Deni Bikes. For him, manufacturing electric bikes isn’t just about business. It's a passion project fueled by a vision that was evident in his pitch. Despite impressing the Sharks, Deore failed to secure any deal but received valuable mentorship to help grow his business.

Deore's story is a powerful example of how young innovators are taking charge, turning their passions into impactful ventures. He represents a new generation of entrepreneurs who are not only building businesses but also shaping a more sustainable world.

But the journey for these young innovators doesn't end with Shark Tank. While the show provides a fantastic platform, the entrepreneurial landscape is brimming with opportunities waiting to be seized.

Other Ways To Secure Funding for Startups

#1: Bootstrapping & Self-Funding

  • Use personal savings or income to start small and grow organically.
  • Reinvest profits back into the business instead of taking large salaries early on.

#2: Government Grants & Schemes

  • Research startup grants, subsidies, and loan programs offered by government initiatives (e.g., Startup India, MSME schemes).

For example, Mudra Yojna is a government initiative to support micro and small enterprises, with a special focus on women entrepreneurs. Loans up to Rs 10 lakh are available with no collateral, and women receive lower interest rates.

#3: Crowdfunding

  • Use platforms like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Ketto to raise funds from the public in exchange for early product access or rewards.
  • Share a compelling story and leverage social media to attract backers.

#4: Angel Investors & Incubators

  • Connect with angel investor networks like Indian Angel Network, LetsVenture, or AngelList.
  • Apply to startup incubators and accelerators (e.g., Y Combinator, 500 Startups, T-Hub) for funding and mentorship.

#5: Corporate & Startup Competitions

  • Participate in hackathons, pitch competitions, and startup challenges for prize money and investor exposure.
  • Other than opportunities on platforms like Unstop, Microsoft for Startups, and TiE Global also offer funding and business support.

#6: Strategic Partnerships & Revenue Sharing

  • Collaborate with established businesses for joint ventures or co-branding opportunities.
  • Offer equity or revenue-sharing models in exchange for funding or resources.

#7: Pre-Sales & Early Customer Investment

  • Sell your product before launch through pre-orders, subscriptions, or membership models.
  • Secure advance payments from potential customers to generate working capital.

Remember, success isn’t just about one big pitch but about persistence, learning, and seizing every opportunity that comes your way. So, if you have a game-changing idea, don’t wait for the perfect moment - create it. Explore the possibilities, take the leap, and start building your dream today!
