Edock x The Big Blind | Founders Pitch and Startup Networking
Some rooms are just rooms.
This one is different.
On 22nd August, Edock and The Big Blind are bringing together a curated room of founders, operators, and some of the most active investors in the Bangalore ecosystem for an afternoon that is genuinely worth clearing your calendar for.
THE INVESTOR LINE-UP
The room includes active investors and investment partners from:
- Benzai10 - VC Fund
- Capital Corn - Investment Facilitator
- Aravind - VC Fund
- The Big Blind - Investment and Venture Studio
- Navneetha - VC Fund
- Carbon6 venture investments - VC Fund
- Siddhartha Rout - Angel Investor
- Nishit - Angel Investor
These are not keynote speakers you will watch from a distance and never actually meet.
They are in the room. All afternoon. Accessible.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- You are building something.
- Or you are thinking about building something.
- Or you are the kind of person who ends up in the room when something gets built.
- You are a founder who wants feedback from people who have seen a hundred pitches and will tell you the truth.
- You are an investor looking for deals that have not made the rounds yet.
- You are an operator, a builder, a professional who knows that your next real opportunity will come from a conversation, not an application.
This afternoon is for you.
THE EXPERIENCE
- 1:00 PM — Welcome and Fireside Chat
Honest conversations to open the room. No fluff. The kind of thing you actually quote later.
- 2:30 PM — Founder Pitches and Live Feedback
Founders present. Investors respond. The room learns. Everyone in the audience walks out sharper.
- 4:00 PM — Structured Networking
Warm introductions, curated. Not a free-for-all.
- 4:30 PM — Open Networking
Coffee. Conversations. The ones that started during structured networking continue here. These are often the ones people remember.

Women Who Build 🍒 Bangalore, Under-25
> I've been to enough startup, tech, creator and builder events around Bangalore to notice something:
> There are a LOT of young people building things.
> But somehow, there are barely any young women in the room.
> And when there are, it's usually just a handful of us.
> So… I want to change that.
This is a small gathering for women under 25 who are building something.
-You don't need funding.
-You don't need a huge following.
-You don't even need to call yourself a founder.
If you're building, you're welcome. (✿◡‿◡)
🍒 What to expect
A small room of women building completely different things.
We'll have:
→ casual introductions
→ a few structured conversations so you actually meet people
→ plenty of time to talk, exchange ideas and find your people
→ no awkward corporate networking
→ no 45-minute panel where everyone forgets each other's names
The goal is simple:
Leave knowing a few more women who get what you're trying to do.
🍒 Who should come?
You should apply if you're:
• a founder / co-founder
• building a startup or product
• a creator or content builder
• building a community
• running a small business
• freelancing or running an agency
• working on a side project
• a student building something outside college
• seriously exploring an idea
You don't need to have "made it."
🤍 One rule
Women under 25 only.
This is intentionally a women-only space.
And come alone if you don't know anyone. That's kind of the point.
📍 Bangalore
💅 Women only
💕 Under 25
🛠️ Builders at any stage
ps:
If this sounds like you, apply.
Maybe this becomes a meetup.
Maybe it becomes a community.
Maybe we finally stop being the 5 women scattered across a room of 100 people. 🫶

Startup Events – FAQ
The Events directory helps founders, entrepreneurs, investors, developers, students, and startup enthusiasts discover upcoming conferences, meetups, workshops, webinars, hackathons, networking sessions, pitch competitions, and other startup-related events from around the world.
No. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, DesiFounder does not organize, sponsor, endorse, or have any affiliation with the events listed in this directory.
The Events section is an aggregation platform that helps the startup community discover relevant events from various organizers.
If an event is officially organized, hosted, or co-hosted by DesiFounder, it will be clearly identified with a "DesiFounder Hosted" or "Official DesiFounder Event" badge on the event page.
We make reasonable efforts to review submissions, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of every event.
We recommend verifying event details directly with the organizer before registering or making travel arrangements, as many times event details are updated by organizers at a later stage, and we do not automatically update them on DesiFounder.
