☕ Coffee, Startups & Standups
A curated evening for founders, operators, investors, and startup enthusiasts who are building serious things—but don't take themselves too seriously.
"A few months ago in Toronto, I stepped onto a comedy stage and performed stand-up sets inspired by startup life. Somewhere between fundraising stories, founder anxiety, pitch decks, and product pivots, I realized something: the startup world desperately needs more laughter.
That experience led me to discover Chasing Comedy—a Toronto based startup on a mission to make comedy more accessible—and inspired the idea of bringing this format to India.
So while I'm in Gurgaon, I wanted to gather some of the most interesting people I know across the startup ecosystem, along with a few new faces worth meeting."Chetan, Cofounder, Honest CreateCohosted byMukul, Cofounder, Springhouse WorkspacesSome of the VCs JoiningPearl, EximiusArjun Vaidya, V3Dhruv, SadevSera, Bharat Founder FundPranav, AtriumNamit, HealthQuad& moreNo panels. No pitches. No fundraising announcements. No LinkedIn-style networking.
Just great coffee, honest conversations, and a comedy set that lovingly roasts the beautiful chaos of startup life.
Expect jokes about:
-
Fundraising rounds that feel longer than relationships
-
"Quick calls" that become life stories
-
VCs who say "interesting" and disappear
-
Founders who are somehow simultaneously overconfident and sleep-deprived
-
Growth hacks, AI decks, networking events, and everything in between
The goal isn't to make fun of the ecosystem—it's to laugh with it.
We're keeping this intentionally intimate with 50 carefully curated founders, investors, operators, and builders from the Gurgaon startup community.
If you've ever raised capital, built a company, shipped a product, survived a pivot, or sat through a painful pitch deck, you'll probably find yourself in the jokes.
Come for the coffee.Stay for the conversations.Leave with a few new connections and hopefully a few fewer existential startup worries.
