Upekkha’s Accelerator Program & option-friendly Fund helps founders skyrocket their business 2X or 3X. Founders can scale in a sustainable, profitable, and capital-efficient way while staying in full control of their startup journey.
Upekkha helps founders who stand against the growth-at-all-cost mentality. Founders can embrace the right growth metrics and create wins for all, especially themselves. B2B SaaS-specific guidance empowers founders to step up on solid foundations, learn to generate recurring revenue by creating value for customers, avoid business pitfalls and shorten the runway to ARR goalposts.
Optionality means staying in control as you grow
If you go the traditional VC route, your chances of becoming a household name are definitely there. However, there’s the risk that a ‘mid-level’ success is much less likely. Some VCs will pressure you to take a 1/100 chance of reaching a $10 billion exit over a 1/2 chance of reaching a $100 million exit. Are those the same trade-offs you would make?
