How much money do you actually need to launch your business in India? Most founders guess — and either under-raise and run out of cash, or over-raise and give away more equity than they needed to. The Founding Ledger gives you a real number, the way a chartered accountant would work it out. Fill in your costs below — the first few are pre-filled with VELTRO’s actual registration pricing.
How This Number Is Worked Out
Total funding = one-time costs + (monthly costs × runway months) + contingency. Most first-time founders under-count two things: the compliance retainer (GST/ITR filing doesn’t stop once you’re busy) and the runway itself — six months is a reasonable floor for most small businesses.
