Founder's Forum 4.0
VentureStudio, in association with the Office of Alumni Affairs, Ahmedabad University, is back with the fourth edition of Founders Forum; the platform that brings Ahmedabad University alumni and industry professionals into one room, with one purpose: turning promising ideas into real momentum.
What happens
- Pitch Sessions: Alumni and aspiring founders present their ventures to a curated audience of industry leaders, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs.
- Open Networking: After the pitches, the floor opens for real conversations, not just business cards. Feedback, mentorship leads, potential collaborations, and for the right idea’s investor interest.
- Industry Meets Academia: A rare, direct line between the University's alumni network, student, faculty and Venture Studio's ecosystem of builders, operators, and capital.
Why this matters: For pitchers, this is a chance to stress-test an idea in front of people who've actually built things and to walk away with more than applause: real feedback, real introductions, real next steps. For industry guests, it's an early look at the ideas coming out of one of the region's most active alumni communities and a chance to shape them from the ground up.
Who should be in the room
- Alumni founders and entrepreneurs, at any stage idea, early traction, or scaling
- Students exploring a venture
- Industry professionals, operators, and investors interested in scouting early-stage talent
- Anyone from the Ahmedabad University community with an entrepreneurial frame of mind
