We’re excited to reveal the new version of MoneyX — a high-end, private conference tailored for the most prominent General Partners (GPs), Limited Partners (LPs), Venture Capitalists (VCs), angel investors, and family offices in India.
MoneyX 2.0 will unite over 300 of the most influential investors to analyze the trends of funding flow throughout the startup life cycle, interact with top figures in the industry, and more.
Featuring on September 26, in the Delhi NCR area, Inc42’s MoneyX serves as a stage where the most innovative thinkers in the investment world converge to understand the flows of funds throughout the entrepreneurial life cycle.
The startup scene in India is rapidly changing, moving from a select group of major cities to a wide-spread, energetic network of creativity. This transformation is clear in the increase of startups, which have surged from 300 in 2016 to over 1.4 million by 2024, as reported by DPIIT.
No longer limited to classic hubs such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the entrepreneurial wave is now spreading across the nation, tapping into unexplored economic possibilities and igniting fresh opportunities for expansion.
The rise in entrepreneurial ventures is unparalleled and has largely overcome worldwide economic challenges.
Take into account the financial doldrums: Even amidst the market’s downturn, India continued to be a prime location for funding new ventures, with more than half of all new investment funds focused on up-and-coming companies. In the year 2023, Indian venture capital firms initiated 31 such funds, gathering a total amount of $1.8 Bn.
Truth be told, companies causing major disruptions are increasing in numbers, and the excitement among investors remains high. In the first half of 2024 alone, Indian entrepreneurs secured $5.3 billion through 504 deals, underscoring a significant interest in the nation’s tech scene.
Nonetheless, in the present landscape, there are still many unanswered questions for those who invest: What direction is the startup community moving towards? What trends should investors keep an eye on, and which new areas offer the greatest potential rewards?
We aim to address a variety of these and numerous other similar inquiries in the upcoming second edition of Inc42’s MoneyX. This is a distinguished, exclusive conference catered to India’s top General Partners (GPs), Limited Partners (LPs), Venture Capitalists (VCs), angel investors, and family offices, offering them a unique opportunity.
MoneyX, presented by Inc42’s Inc42, serves as a central stage where the most astute individuals from the investment world converge to analyze the trajectories of capital flow throughout a startup’s journey, forge connections with key figures in the sector, and plan investments that will influence tomorrow’s landscape.
Despite there being numerous networking events available, MoneyX provides a meticulously selected experience designed specifically for India’s distinct investor community. It serves as a deliberate platform where individuals with shared interests come together to discover fresh opportunities for working together and forming partnerships.
The MoneyX 2.0 event is scheduled to occur at The Oberoi, Gurugram on September 26.
Our vision for MoneyX was clear yet ambitious: to tackle the deficiency in India’s startup environment by focusing on the low participation of domestic funding, which represents less than 10% of all startup investments in the country. Despite the plentiful chances available, bridging this gap continues to be an obstacle. Additionally, India claims more than 125 angel networks and groups — expected to grow to over 200 by the year 2030 — yet, investors are not making the most of this potential.
In response to this, we introduced MoneyX the previous year, uniting India’s elite 1% of investors, who together oversee funds surpassing $100 Billion. Throughout more than 15 sessions and over 10 hours of deep networking, these experts gathered at a full-day event, which served as a vibrant source of knowledge, networking opportunities, and partnerships.
Participants departed with priceless insights and new viewpoints following the presentation on the investment experiences of seasoned investors such as Sanjeev Bikhchandani from Info Edge; Soumya Rajan, who heads up Waterfield Advisors; Rajan Anandan, the Managing Director of Peak XV Partners & Surge, and Padmaja Ruparel from the Indian Angel Network, among other key individuals.
This year, we’re taking MoneyX to the next level, gathering over 300 investors in one location to host India’s biggest gathering for investors and venture capitalists.
In the second edition of MoneyX, we’ll delve into methods for leveraging funds within India, focusing on ways for Indian investors to overcome significant domestic funding shortages throughout the full journey of a startup, from its early stages up to going public. The panelists will discuss the process of spotting suitable investment chances and how to assess the profitability of those investments.
Presenters will also explore the methods investors use to evaluate founders, sectors, and investment funds. These conversations will additionally shed light on the changing dynamics of venture capital in India, ranging from the growth of small venture capital firms to the participation of family offices, and will analyze the new trends that are transforming the environment.
Participants will also acquire knowledge about the upcoming trends in startup exits and the impact of artificial intelligence and developing technologies on investment approaches in rapidly expanding industries.
We’re inviting venture capitalists, limited partners, general partners, family enterprise offices, angel investors, private equity fund supervisors, and leadership figures in the investment sector to participate in a transformation of India’s in-country investment landscape. Make sure to mark your calendars for MoneyX 2.0 to connect with premier investors and explore pivotal investment patterns that will influence the forthcoming era of startup advancement. Stay tuned for details on the agenda.
