D2C Grant & Funding Scout

I run Travayo, India’s first curated travel-kit D2C brand, and I need a sharp researcher who knows the Indian startup ecosystem inside out. Your mission is to uncover every relevant Government grant, accelerator program, and startup-investor fund that a young consumer brand like ours can realistically secure, then help me act on the best of them.

Here is how I see the engagement working:

• Map the landscape of Government grants, accelerator programs, and private startup funding tailored to product-based ventures in India.
• Rank each opportunity by eligibility match, cheque size, application timeline, and probability of success so I can focus effort where it counts.
• When an opportunity looks right, guide or draft the application, ensuring compliance with each scheme’s format, and help prepare any pitch decks or financial projections required.

Compensation is two-part: a modest upfront fee to acknowledge your time, followed by a 7 % success fee on any grant or investment that closes directly from your research and support. No red-tape billing—payment happens only when funds land.

If you have already steered startups through BIRAC, Startup India Seed Fund, state innovation missions, or high-profile accelerators such as T-Hub, Sequoia Surge, or Techstars, tell me the outcomes and amounts raised. Links or short case notes are welcome.

Tools you prefer—anything from MCA data portals to startup India dashboards, Crunchbase, or your own proprietary databases—are fine as long as they lead us to money in the bank.

Let’s see how many doors your insight can open for Travayo.
