The “Think Beyond Number” differentiation

Scaling a startup takes more than capital. It takes leadership, structure, and a growth engine — things the current ecosystem often neglects. We’ve reimagined the support system to cover it all, including M&A strategy, so founders can grow with confidence and purpose.

Our Journey

Think Beyond Numbers started initially as “Investor India Alliance”, which morphed into “IIA Ventures” over a year and half. After working with 600+ startups, participating in multiple events as judge/jury, working with countless VC firms, incubators / accelerators and making some amazing friends in the ecosystem; we learnt a few valuable lessons. These make the backbone of “Think Beyond Numbers”.

Deal Universe

Our deal universe acts not only as a startup deal showcase but also includes other exciting investment opportunities (Traditional Businesses, M&A Opportunities, Secondary / Unlisted Opportunities etc.). Platforms / Networks can personalize it (White-Label it) to share deals with their own investor networks

Leadership Development

Leadership gaps are a silent killer in fast-growing startups. Our hands-on approach, backed by real-world experience, strengthens leadership capacity where it matters most. Through our collaboration with Global Gyan, we deliver tailored training that equips teams to scale with confidence.

When Survival Demands Strategy

Not all startups take off — but many can be steered back on course. We specialize in turning potential write-offs into comeback stories, partnering with investors and founders to reimagine possibilities through capital restructuring, growth partnerships, and strategic pivots.

Get Investor Ready

We are NOT a purely fund-raising platform. If we agree with you on the fund-raise requirement; our platform allows you to get noticed. You can choose who sees the deal and you can select how they get in touch with you afterwards. Please note that most of the investors on our platform prefer companies that have proven traction.

Unlock Growth

We work very closely with our investor community to find various ways in which their portfolio companies can unlock growth. This involves strategic partnerships, joint GTM and much more. Our team is constantly evaluating potential synergies between various startups that we come across. This has consistently proven to be a most sought-after benefit for the startups that work with us.

Plan-B

Not every startup succeeds. Not every entrepreneur dominates the cover-stories. For every startup, there comes a phase where it is the most vulnerable to failure. If you find in this patch; you’ve come to a right place. We will have a candid conversation with you and figure out what’s the best way forward in this case. We will do everything in our power to ensure you don’t have to shut shop without a fight.

M & A Advisory

The ‘buy vs. build’ debate is as old as entrepreneurship itself. One of the most powerful — and often overlooked — ways to unlock value is through smart acquisitions. For enterprises, it means faster time-to-market. For startups and their investors, it offers a timely and efficient exit. We help bridge this gap by identifying the right acquisition targets within the startup ecosystem, creating win-win outcomes for all.

Setting up CVC or Focused Accelerator

Enterprises aiming to stay ahead are embedding themselves deeply into the startup ecosystem. Through Corporate Venture Capital or tailored accelerator programs, we help you create structured avenues to scout innovation, unlock synergies, and build future-ready partnerships — from spin-offs to strategic acquisitions.

Share your Knowledge

You’ve built a strong, sustainable business — brick by brick. Now, you have the opportunity to give back by shaping the next generation of entrepreneurs. Partner with us to provide the startup founder community a platform to interact, learn, and grow — guided by your experience and insights.

Build Future Leaders

Over time, we’ve been approached by businesses seeking training, coaching, and strategic consulting support — and we’re well-equipped to deliver. While our core focus today is on growth-stage startups, strategic consulting is in our DNA. Through our robust ecosystem, we also partner with mid to large-sized enterprises to deliver high-impact engagements in leadership, growth, and transformation.

Entrepreneurship Center of Excellence

Today’s students are bold, risk-taking innovators — but they need strong institutional support. We help educational institutions build and operate entrepreneurial Centers of Excellence, offering hands-on support across startup screening, investment committees, seed funding access, and grant enablement.

Incubator / Accelerator Support

We bring together experience from boardrooms, startups, and investment circles to support incubators and accelerators. Whether it's through strategic guidance or white-labeled tools like 'Deal Universe', we help elevate their programs to deliver meaningful results for founders

Speaking Engagements / Knowledge Series

This is our way of giving back to the student community and the next generation of founders. It also keeps us energized — learning from their curiosity, courage, and fresh perspectives. We actively engage through panel discussions, guest lectures, workshops, and E-Cell events, sharing real-world insights while staying connected to the pulse of tomorrow’s innovators.

Industry Exchange / Internships

Through our ongoing engagement with engineering and management institutions, we’re frequently asked to help facilitate internships for students. Until now, we’ve addressed this on an ad-hoc basis — connecting startups with interns as opportunities arose. We’re now exploring a more organized approach to create a structured bridge between academia and the startup world, helping resource-constrained startups find talent, while giving students meaningful, hands-on experience.
