Founders' practice
From idea to investor-ready.
The corners startups cut in year one become the diligence findings that stall funding in year three. We set founders up properly from day zero — structure, equity, compliance and numbers a term sheet can trust.
Getting started, correctly
- Incorporation & structure — private limited, LLP or partnership — chosen for where you're going, not just where you are
- Founders' agreements — equity splits, vesting and exit terms agreed while everyone is still friends
- DPIIT recognition — startup registration and the tax benefits that come with it
Building without debt — the compliance kind
- Compliance stack — ROC, GST, TDS and payroll obligations on one tracked calendar
- Cap table management — clean records of every issuance, SAFE and convertible from day one
- ESOP design — pools, grants, vesting and the tax treatment your employees will ask about
Raising with confidence
- Due-diligence readiness — the data room assembled before investors ask, not after
- Investor reporting — MIS packs and metrics that survive a partner meeting
- Virtual CFO — senior finance thinking in your monthly rhythm, at startup-stage cost
We work with founders across Northeast India and far beyond — the engagement runs the same on Slack from Bangalore or Singapore as it does across the table in Guwahati.
Questions
Frequently asked
It depends on whether you'll raise institutional capital. Investors almost always require a private limited company; LLPs suit services businesses that will grow on their own cash flow. We'll help you decide based on your actual plan — and handle the conversion later if the plan changes.
Before incorporation. The structure, founders' agreement and initial equity decisions are the hardest things to fix later, and the cheapest to get right at the start.
Clean books, a reconciled cap table, complete statutory registers, filed returns, papered related-party transactions and organised contracts — assembled as a living data room, so a term sheet never waits on your paperwork.
Our standard engagements are fee-based with startup-friendly structures. We'd rather be your advisors than your shareholders — the advice stays independent that way.
