TBN - Think Beyond Numbers

Think Beyond Numbers

A lot has changed since Investor India Alliance was founded nearly two years ago. We started as a startup advisory service, primarily focused on non-tech, early-stage, and idea-stage startups. Over time, our impact has grown tremendously. We have engaged with 650+ startups and worked closely with 75+ founders, offering strategic guidance as mentors, advisors, and fundraisers.

Through these experiences, we’ve built strong relationships with both founders and investors, gaining deep insights into the Indian startup ecosystem. One key realization? Despite the vibrancy of the ecosystem, something is missing. The 80%+ failure rate of funded startups is simply unsustainable.

This is where Think Beyond Numbers steps in. Our mission is now laser-focused on solving a critical challenge:

“How can we help startup investors protect their investments?”

Stay tuned as we continue to innovate, support, and strengthen the startup landscape in India.

Build Strong Foundation

Create strong leadership capabilities in startups from day-1

The moment a startup raises external funding, it must prioritize organization building, leadership development, and strategic thinking. We collaborate closely with our investor partners to equip startups with the right management capabilities, leadership mindset, and strategic frameworks needed to navigate growth effectively.

Self-Realization for startups

We show them the door – They must walk through it.

At Think Beyond Numbers, we believe founders should take full ownership of their core strategies, pitch decks, business models, and key growth levers. Instead of spoon-feeding solutions, we work side by side with them, offering hands-on guidance through every challenge. This collaborative approach not only strengthens decision-making but also fosters a deep sense of ownership, accountability, and long-term success.

Collaborative Investment Approach

Find opportunities across portfolio companies.

In today’s funding landscape, where capital is scarce and profitability is crucial, collaboration among portfolio companies across different investors is more important than ever. A strong ecosystem approach not only fosters synergy but also creates a defensible moat for every startup. At Think Beyond Numbers, we’ve developed proven processes and tools to enable collaborative investment and investment protection strategies. By working together, startups and investors can maximize value, reduce risks, and drive sustainable growth.

Innovations & Product-First Mindset

Create products & tools for the startup ecosystem.

We have created software solutions that make all the things discussed above easier for the investor community. We have created portfolio tracking tools that are intuitive and enable the investors to “Think Beyond Numbers”. Our startup showcase, evaluation, market access and SME finder tools are all built on the foundation of Collaborative Investing & Investment Protection, ensuring investors can make informed decisions while safeguarding their portfolios.

Our North Star

We are pretty serious when we say we are set out to reshape the startup ecosystem. Today we have quite a few ecosystem enablers but a few who are willing to roll-up their sleeves to steer a struggling startup in a right direction. We have made it our mission to work with funded startups that run the risk of getting stuck where they aren’t able to grow or raise funds. There’s too much at stake for founders, employees, customers, vendors & the investors at this stage to let it fail. We work with founders & investors on –
