I understand that, as an investor, you need to go beyond just providing the capital support, and need to mentor a budding startup on the business front too. Following this, we started WFC with an aim to help new startups connect with strategic angels and founders of renowned startups like Beardo, Zypp Electric, Dineout etc.,” explains Neeraj Tyagi, Co-Founder and CEO, We Founder Circle.
