Kochi, Aug 05: Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), in association with Headstart Network
Foundation, is conducting next week a free workshop for HNIs (high net-worth
individuals) aspiring to be angel investors as an additional asset.
The August 13 event, to be led by experienced venture capitalists and successful investors,
will be held at KSUM’s Integrated Startup Complex in Kalamassery, 20 km north of the city.
The sessions, beginning noon, will be led by seasoned investor Nidhi Saraf, who is co-
founder & CEO of advisory fund-raising firm Key Ventures which has expertise in raising
Pre-Series A to Series D capital for early and growth-stage startups.
Permitting only invitees, prospective participants can apply through
https://bit.ly/HNI2022. The workshop, which aims to answer various questions and
doubts of prospective angel investors, can help build a culture around startup investments
in Kerala, organisers said.
The event is conducted as part of a larger conference ‘Startup Saturday - Funding &
Investments’, where 250 founders, entrepreneurs and ecosystem enablers will come
together to know more about funding and investments. The participants of the HNI
workshop will get free entry to the full-day conference as well. For details:

Noting that a well-informed and sensitised angel investor alone can judge and curate one’s
investments to get better yield, organizers said the August 13 workshop seeks to boost
Kerala’s startup ecosystem to grow to new heights.
