Dissect Channels -

In this episode, we sit down with Aditya Singh, founder of All In Capital and one of India's most active venture capitalists with 200+ startup investments. He meets 500 founders a month and funds maybe 2, and in this conversation, he explains exactly why.

We get into what VCs are really looking for when they meet a founder, the red flags that kill a deal instantly, what most founders get wrong about raising money, and his take on celebrity brands entering the startup space. Aditya also opens up about the craziest bets he's made, including a company that trains dogs to sniff out cancer, and what made him say yes.

If you're a founder, an aspiring investor, or just someone trying to understand how money moves in India's startup ecosystem, this episode is required watching.
