Startup Advisory in Hyderabad
Feasibility studies, founder advisory, ecosystem access, and fund-raising support for founders building in Hyderabad and beyond.
Feasibility Studies & Financial Projections
Before committing capital or time to a venture, a clear-eyed look at whether the numbers actually work is worth more than optimism. We prepare feasibility studies, project reports, and financial projections that founders can take to lenders, investors, or their own board with confidence.
Project Feasibility Reports
Assessment of market viability, cost structure, revenue assumptions, and break-even timelines - the kind of report banks and NBFCs typically require for term loans and working capital facilities.
Financial Projections & Modelling
Multi-year revenue, cost, and cash-flow projections built around your actual business assumptions, not generic templates - useful for fundraising decks, loan applications, and your own internal planning.
Founder Advisory
Running a startup means constant decisions with incomplete information - pricing, hiring, whether to raise now or wait, how to structure a co-founder split. We work as a sounding board on the operational and financial side of those calls.
Operational & Financial Strategy
Direct, practical input on pricing models, unit economics, burn rate management, and runway planning - grounded in what we see across other founders we work with, not generic frameworks.
Co-Founder & Equity Structuring
Guidance on founder equity splits, vesting schedules, and ESOP pool sizing before they become a source of disputes later - these are far easier to get right at the start than to unwind afterward.
Board & Investor Reporting
Setting up MIS and board-reporting formats that give investors what they actually want to see, without turning into a monthly reporting burden on the founding team.
Startup Ecosystem Access
Some problems are better solved through the right introduction than through advice alone.
Founder & Investor Network
Introductions drawn from our professional network - other founders who've solved a similar problem, angel investors and early-stage funds, and specialist service providers (legal, technical, recruitment) as the need comes up.
Government Scheme & Grant Awareness
Practical awareness of applicable state and central schemes - Startup India benefits, sector-specific incentives, and state-level startup policies - flagged as relevant rather than presented as a generic checklist.
Advice on Fund Raising
Fundraising is as much about being ready as it is about pitching. We help founders get the financial and legal groundwork in order before conversations with investors start.
Readiness Assessment
Reviewing financials, cap table, and compliance status for gaps that would slow down or complicate a raise.
Round Structuring
Guidance on instrument choice - equity, CCPS, convertible notes - and typical terms for your stage and sector.
Data Room Preparation
Organising financial statements, contracts, IP records, and compliance filings into the format due diligence actually expects.
Term Sheet Review
A practical read of proposed terms - valuation, liquidation preference, anti-dilution, board rights - flagging what's standard versus what needs negotiation.
Post-Round Compliance
Statutory filings for the allotment - Form PAS-3, updated statutory registers, and FC-GPR reporting where the round includes foreign investors.
Ongoing Investor Relations
Setting up the reporting cadence and format investors expect once the round closes.
Protecting Your Brand Name
Alongside financial and fundraising readiness, protecting your brand name and logo through trademark registration is worth addressing early - an unregistered name carries no exclusive protection and is far harder to defend once a dispute comes up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a feasibility study typically cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the depth required and the sector - a straightforward project report takes a couple of weeks, while a detailed feasibility study with market research and financial modelling takes longer. We scope this based on what the report needs to support, whether that's a loan application, an investor conversation, or internal planning.
At what stage should a founder start working with an advisor rather than figuring things out alone?
Earlier than most founders expect - decisions made in the first year, like equity splits, entity structure, and early hiring, are the hardest to unwind later. That said, there's no wrong time to start; even an established business benefits from a second set of eyes on financial strategy.
Do you help with pitch decks, or only the financial and legal groundwork?
Our focus is the financial and legal groundwork - projections, cap table structuring, compliance readiness, and term sheet review - rather than pitch deck design itself. That groundwork is usually what determines whether the pitch conversation goes smoothly once it starts.
Can you help with government scheme applications like Startup India recognition?
Yes, we help prepare the documentation Startup India/DPIIT recognition typically requires, including the project report and financial projections, and flag other applicable state or central schemes as relevant to your business.
Is this advisory service only for very early-stage startups?
No. Early-stage founders are the most common fit for feasibility studies and initial fundraising support, but the founder advisory and fundraising components apply just as much to growth-stage businesses raising a later round or navigating a scale-up decision.
