D2C Insider hosts first Super Angels Founders Day in Gurugram

D2C Insider, a community for direct-to-consumer (D2C) startups, held its first Super Angels Founders Day at UrbanWrk, Gurugram. The event brought together founders of portfolio companies, investors from the Super Angels Fund, and others from the D2C ecosystem.

The event focused on the progress of Super Angels Fund I, a Rs 25 crore fund launched in the previous year. Founders from companies such as Assembly, Basil, Business on Bot, Crest, Divine Hindu, Futwork, GoOat, Pikndel, Snackible, Samosa Party, Solved Skin, and Steam Pro shared business updates and engaged with their early-stage investors.

Among the investors who attended were Rohit Bansal (Snapdeal), Hitesh Dhingra (The Man Company), Sumit Baid (KeraGain), Atul Bhakta (One World Group), Mohit Garg (Assembly), along with others.

A session titled “The Operator Capital Revolution” featured Rohit Bansal and Hitesh Dhingra in conversation with Abhishek Shah of D2C Insider. They discussed communication between founders and investors and the role of experienced founders in supporting newer ones.

Another discussion, “From Guts to Graphs,” brought together both investors and founders to examine startup evaluation and the fundraising experience from both perspectives.

D2C Insider provides funding and support to early-stage D2C startups and has a network of over 10,000 founders. The Super Angels Fund, introduced in October last year, focuses on investments in consumer-focused startups.
