In the world of startups, having a great idea is just the beginning. What truly makes a difference is getting the right people in the room—the ones who believe in your vision, challenge your thinking, and open doors when you’re stuck.
That’s exactly what htraction is building—a space where founders, investors, mentors, service providers, and incubators can come together to support one another and grow together.
So, what is htraction?
htraction is more than a startup platform. It’s a community-driven ecosystem where people who are serious about building meet others who can help them do just that.
It’s where a founder with a bold idea can connect with a mentor who’s seen it all. Where an investor looking for fresh energy can discover founders who are actually building, not just talking. And where service providers and incubators get a chance to be part of real startup journeys—not just from the sidelines, but as active collaborators.
Why htraction Demo Day is different
Let’s be honest. Most pitch events these days feel the same—quick presentations, a few polite nods, and everyone goes home.
htraction Demo Day is built differently.
Here, the focus is on creating real value—not just for the startups pitching, but for everyone in the room. Whether you’re investing, mentoring, collaborating, or simply showing up to learn—there’s something for you.
What to expect:
- A curated lineup of startups—not random entries, but handpicked founders who are ready to build.
- A room full of investors, mentors, and partners who are actually engaged.
- Real conversations, real feedback, and yes, real opportunities.
- A chance to not just pitch, but also learn, connect, and grow your circle.
Why now?
We’re in a phase where the Indian startup ecosystem is buzzing—but also scattered. Founders are building, but often in isolation. Investors are looking—but struggling to find the right fit. Mentors want to help—but don’t always know where to start.
htraction Demo Day is an attempt to bring all those threads together in one place.
Because the truth is—no one builds alone. And when the right people connect, magic happens.
