The Wright Brothers gave humanity flight, Alteon exists to give humanity (almost) perpetual flight.
Alteon Energy builds the world’s highest endurance airplanes – ones that can fly for ~417 days at a time without landing.
Today, I’m excited to share with the world our first step towards this vision – the Infinidrone 🧵
Holiday Travel is a secular growth market in India. Indians are bound to become No 1 travelers in the world in the coming decade. Indian domestic travel is at its inflection point in any case.
Our portfolio startup, #HolidayTribe, has grown multifold since we invested in their first round last year.
A unique blend of AI tech combined with a human touch is the secret sauce behind the phenomenal growth trajectory of Holiday Tribe.
@gsf_fund is pleased to take part in its new funding round led by our partner fund @powerhouseven
Congrats to the founders Anshu & Chirag and their awesome team.

Evolution of GSF Founders Academy: 1000 founders strong and accelerating.
Founders for Founders since 2012: GSF launched its first accelerator program in 2012. We invested in 65 startups during between 2012 till 2019, creating a portfolio gain of 10X and many iconic startups in the process: From @whatfix to @MediBuddyapp, from @quizizz to @Slintel_Inc, from Little Eye Labs to Daily Rounds, and many more.
COVID; was a transformative period for the Indian startup ecosystem and also for us. We changed our model of yearly program with 6-10 startups and opened the program to a larger number of founders/startups. Since then, this one of its kind accelerator program, runs twice in an year and trains/mentors 300+ startups in an year. It’s now the largest and most respected startup program in India.
GSF Founders Academy (Summer 2024) is here and accepting applications:
For founders, it’s a smart way to kickstart your startup journey. In 8-10 weeks, you will be mentored by some of the smartest founders and investors in the country and then meet 1000+ investors on the demo days at the end of fhe program.

Had a fascinating conversation with two accomplished angel investors @sumitjain@amiyapathak
Best pay offs happen when you do “Day Zero investing”, usually when you are the sounding board of founders for ideas and give them money to convert their ideas into products/startups.
Day 1 investing is when startups raise pre-seed round where many angels invest. This is where your brand as an angel helps in getting allocation in hot startups.
Day 10 investing happens when angels invest in rounds led by VCs and it rarely produces bumper results, even though it appears safer.
Big THANK YOU and a massive shoutout to our superstar speakers at GSF Founders-Investors Retreat! Your knowledge, wisdom, and humor lit up the event🚀
With 150+ brilliant founders and investors, it turned into an epic experience. Thanks for making it unforgettable🙌 #GoaSuperFun
